I served with her in the 12th Parliament. She was representing the people of Isiolo. I also support Mr Michael Nzomo Mbithuka as a Member of NGEC. In this day and age, what has been christened as femicide is just plain and simple murder of young girls and women in this country. So, that Commission has its work cut out."},{"id":1503636,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1503636/?format=json","text_counter":148,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Kikuyu, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon.

Kimani Ichung’wah","speaker":null,"content":"In the past, NGEC, together with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), have done absolutely nothing in advancing the work they were charged to do. I am saying this because, of all the commissions that are instituted by the Constitution, NGEC and NCIC have been the most useless and lacklustre constitutional commissions. That Commission is now getting new leadership. I hope with Hon. Jaldesa as the Chairperson, since she is a former Member of Parliament, she will give it life. If she does not, then we will know that NGEC has no work."},{"id":1503638,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1503638/?format=json","text_counter":150,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Kikuyu, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah","speaker":null,"content":"Indeed, when we embarked on the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) work last year, many people appeared before the Committee proposing the dissolution of NGEC and NCIC. Then, we combine all their work under the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR). I am saying that, that is a challenge to the new leadership of NGEC so that they can up their game. Should they not, we will ask Kenyans to consider dissolving NGEC and NCIC, and then consolidating all their functions under KNCHR. This is because there is some level of duplicity in their functions, especially NCIC and KNCHR."},{"id":1503639,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1503639/?format=json","text_counter":151,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Kikuyu, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon.

NGEC should serve the purpose that is intended under the Constitution; failure to which, I will serve them notice. Kenyans served them notice under NADCO. If you go through the Report, you will see many people are concerned about the duplicity of the work that is done by NCIC, NGEC and KNCHR. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.
