    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is so nice that we are finally doing the First Reading of this very important Bill. But I have serious concerns about the manner in which it is being brought before this House. You will notice that it is being brought by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. I have agonized, read and re-read the new Constitution, especially Schedule Six that indicates how this Constitution will be implemented. Specifically, Part V describes the Commission of Implementation which is very clear about the functions and, if you allow me, I will refer to the new Constitution. It is very clear that under the Commission of Implementation of the Constitution in Part V, they describe how it is supposed to be formed. In Part VI, especially part (b), it tells us exactly the functions. This part reads:- “The function of the Commission will be to co-ordinate with the Attorney-General and the Kenya Law Reform Commission in preparing for tabling in Parliament the legislation required to implement this Constitution. In part (c) it tells us: The Commission will report regularly to the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee.” Nowhere in this Constitution is the word “Cabinet” mentioned. And more importantly, nowhere is the Ministry called “the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs” mentioned. Nowhere!"
