The government is optimistic it will meet the August deadline to enact crucial legislation to fully operationalise the Constitution.
Attorney General Amos Wako has consequently asked Ministries to submit raw draft copies to the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) of all pending Bills by mid July to meet the set timelines.
The Constitution requires a minimum of 16 legislations to have been enacted within the first year of the promulgation of the Constitution, which was on August 27, 2010.
“I therefore take this opportunity to appeal to all institutions involved, and in particular the Line Ministries to ensure that we have, at least the raw draft Bills by mid July 2011 to ensure enactment within the stipulated period,” said Mr Wako Tuesday during the official opening of a constitutional conference at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, Nairobi.
