    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me stick to the contents of the Bill. The Bill was read the first time in the Senate on 6th August, 2014. However, the Bill was lost during the second reading on 28th July, 2015. Consequently, the Senate Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare in the Eleventh Parliament embarked on a process of coming up with a new Bill for introduction in the Senate as per the recommendations of the Intelligence Technical Committee. This Committee had all the stakeholders involved. I will request that we attach that to the report that is being circulated. All of the stakeholders approved a version of the Bill that would take care of all the interests, fears and hopes of the millions of Kenyans whose future we intent to secure. A draft Bill that considered that was submitted to the Standing Committee by the task force chaired by the former chairperson of the now defunct TA, Mr. Kinuthia wa Mwangi. The task force was set up by the Committee at a stakeholders’ forum in October, 2015. On conclusion of its work, they submitted a draft report to the committee which included the Bill that I have mentioned and the Report was signed by all the stakeholders. The Bill was then published on 2nd, December, 2016 and read for the first time on 23, February, 2017, for the second time on 9th June, 2017 and then passed on 15th June, 2017. The Bill was then referred to the National Assembly where it lapsed in the Eleventh Parliament. Due to the importance of the Bill, the Standing Committee on The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
