"content": "for prosperity to know why we are making these laws. This Bill is meant to achieve the functions and dictates of the Constitution as required. In fact, in the Schedules of the Constitution, some of these laws were required to be made within a certain period after the enactment of the Constitution 2010. When Parliament establishes a Commission and some which have powers that go beyond Parliament like this Commission, On the question of salaries and remuneration, there are powers which are outside the limits, or the competencies of Parliament, unless those laws are changed. Once Parliament has given these tools; these commissions, State offices or agencies should play the statutory and constitutional role in accordance with the law. Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud has now seen why it is important to have these provisions; that there is a gap in the law. He is not doing this to please himself as Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud or the people of Mandera County, but he is doing it for the Republic, in the name of the people. Having set this enabling constitutional and statutory environment, those who are going to apply this law should be up to the task, do their work and perform their functions in accordance with the dictates of the Constitution and in honour of the sovereign power of the people who delegate all these powers to us, as Parliament or other agencies of Parliament. Without further ado I beg to second this Bill and commend the Chairman for moving it."
