NAIROBI, KENYA: The number of commissioners in the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) may be slashed drastically if a new draft Bill is approved by the National Assembly.
The draft National Cohesion and Peace Building Bill 2014 proposes the body be headed by a chairperson and two commissioners, down from the current 12 officials. In the current Act, the commission not only has a Chairman and eight commissioners but also has three slots for the Ombudsman, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and the Gender Commission.
