Speaker, I once again rise under the Standing Order No.52(1) relating to the postponement of an Order of the day in relation to adoption of the Report of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC). Before you put the Question on this matter, I seek your indulgence to know what kind of a resolution this House is being asked to make. I have a lot of respect for the CIOC and for the Chairperson who is a very good friend of mine, Hon. Baiya. However, I have a few issues with the Committee’s recommendation that the title of the Committee be changed from “Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee” to “Select Committee on Devolution” and a transfer of its current functions to the new Committee. My reading of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya indicates that CIOC is a permanent Committee created for the National Assembly for the purpose of overseeing the implementation of the constitution. The only time we can resolve that the life of the Committee is over is when the Constitution has fully been implemented. The question we should ask ourselves now is how the Committee can make a determination that the Constitution has been fully implemented. Currently, there are provisions of the Constitution which are yet to be actualised and these include among others the Physical Planning Bill, 2015 which is a constitutional Bill that is still The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
