    "content": "I want to use this opportunity to finally request hon. Members to think about the timelines that are in Schedule VI. We are supposed, through the House Business Committee, to have established a Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee. We have not done this and by the time we come back on 28th September, 2010 we would have lost 30 days. We are supposed, within the first 90 days - we will remain with 60 days by 28th September, 2010 - to have put in place a chairman and membership of the Constitution Implementation Committee. This we have not done. We are also supposed to give approval within the first 90 days – we have already lost 30 days – to the appointment of the person who will be nominated by the President to the position of being the Chair of the Commission for Revenue Allocation. If we do not address our minds to these things, we will give the same Executive an opportunity to start going slow on the implementation process. Believe me you hon. Members, the same Constitution provides that any Kenyan can go to the High Court and seek that this Parliament be compelled to carry out a prerequisite by way of legislation. If you do not do that, the same court can ask the Chief Justice to ask the President to dissolve the National Assembly. It is important that as we go on recess, we be seized of these matters so that the Constitution of Kenya can be implemented. Finally, whereas many Members of Parliament as evidenced yesterday and some contributions today have congratulated the leadership of the country for the way they hosted Al-Bashir, the truth is that as many Kenyans--- With those many words, I beg to support this Motion."
