CIC will not plead for term extension, commissioners say decision lies with MPs

Vice Chairperson of the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution Dr Elizabeth Muli.

The Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution Thursday told lawmakers to make a decision on whether they will extend its term or they will let the term of the commission expire at a time when there are over 20 Bills to implement the Constitution pending in Parliament.

At a meeting in Nairobi's Parliament buildings, the vice chairman of the CIC, Dr Elizabeth Muli and member Kamotho Waiganjo told a parliamentary committee that as a commission they had already decided that they will not plead with MPs for an extension because doing so will look "like we are trying to look for an extra year".
