    "content": "a) Meeting with stakeholders to address the challenges facing prisons and the justice system. I am happy to report that on Friday last week, the Chief Justice, Deputy Chief Justice and the entire Judicial Service Commission had a discussion with our Committee, courtesy of the Office of the Speaker of the Senate, hon. Lusaka. I am glad to report that we will continue to have discussions to ensure the administration of justice in the country is well taken care of. b) Comprehensive review of elections and related laws. On this particular matter, I urge all Senators who are advocates and any other interested Senator to join our Committee in conducting this review. I would like to emphasize that it has come to the attention of my Committee, that most Senators are proposing amendments to the Elections Act. I have made proposals before to the SBC and to your Office to have an audit review of the entire elections laws in this country so that we can have an omnibus amendment rather than piecemeal amendments. c) Consideration of the Petitions before the Committee namely- i. Mass examination failure at the Kenya School of Law. ii. The state of corruption, procurement, recruitment, abuse of office, public participation and marginalization in Nyamira County. iii. Arbitrary cancellation of Kimwarer Dam and scaling down of Aror Dam in Elgeyo-Marakwet County. iv. Implementation of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission Report. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is the status report of my Committee. I thank the Office of the Speaker of the Senate for the wonderful support, the Clerk Assistant to my Committee, Ms. Kavata Musyoka, the entire secretariat, my colleague Members and all the stakeholders that have made all the activities successful. I thank you."
