On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Given the time left and the fact that most hon. Members want to contribute, I do not know if it is possible for you to reduce the time for contribution to five minutes so that many of us can contribute.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me a chance to contribute to this Motion. I thank the Mover of this Motion. It is a very critical Motion he has brought before the House. If it is passed, it will help the poor farmer we have at home to get more revenue. Let us look at the positive effects. If the farmer does not pay the money they are supposed to pay and if they do not pay the loans for the factories, they will be paid more money per kilogramme of the produce. The farmer will use ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, going through this Bill, I have many issues I want to raise. The first point I want to raise is about the composition of the panel of the people who are going to--- The composition of the panel will include the offices of the President and the Prime Minister. I want us to go back to where we are coming from. If we allow this commission to be constituted the way it is indicated here, this is going to lead to political deals. Just the other day before the Chief Justice and his deputy were appointed, ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you look at the recommendations that this commission is associated with, there is the complaint about the secretary of the commission. When will somebody in Moyale, or somewhere in a very rural area of Kisii be able to reach Nairobi to read this report? There must be a mechanism by which the commission, if it has to be formed, must have an office at the county level. The commission, if it has to be truly representative, I suggest that the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) be in charge of recruitment. This is ...

If we allow the composition to remain the way it is proposed, why should we involve the Offices of the President, Prime Minister, Registrar of Societies and the private sector? These are the owners of property. These are the people who actually “sit” on other people. So, we must change this. We should have something different so that Kenyans can participate in choosing the panel. Kenyans can have a commission which is going to fight, and not just one which will give people jobs. If we leave it the way it has been put, this commission will just want to ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you come to Chapter 34, I am finding it very difficult to support this Commission; I do not see what it will do that is not done by the other organs. I do not see its real purpose and whether we are going to help the marginalised and those who are suffering. The commission is supposed to help the marginalised people and to reach the people who cannot reach the Commissioner of Police. The commission is supposed to help investigate for someone who cannot use the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). When you look at its ...
