    "content": "The KICD is very important because that is where education curriculum is developed. The curricula for the various subjects and the books that are used for teaching are developed there. This is a serious board under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. As it is now, the CS does not have any powers with regard appointment of the board. This amendment provides for some members of the board to be appointed by the CS, in consultation with key stakeholders who have a leeway in the development of curricula. The Bill further in that section seeks to amend the Act to provide for the resignation of the chairperson of the board and replacement by the CS. There is a vacuum in the Act. Today, if the chair of the board decides to resign, there is no provision for replacement by the CS because all chairpersons are appointed by the President in consultation with the CS. The third and final important amendment is to the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC) Act No.19 of 2013. The Bill seeks to amend the KLRC Act to harmonise the provisions of the membership of that Commission. That is why I said the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill mainly deals with minor amendments that do not necessitate publication of separate Bills. Again, the amendment to the KLRC Act is about how to deal with the composition of the Commission. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to move and ask the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, who will have the privilege, together with the Members of his Committee, to vet the next Chief Justice (CJ), to second."
