    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to commend the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources under the leadership of Hon. Amina Abdalla for work well done. This Committee has been doing good work. As they bring the Report on the Petition, I wish the Committee on Implementation Committee can emulate it. We cannot see the Chair or the Vice-Chair of the Committee on Implementation in the House. This will help this House in that whatever is passed here and agreed upon is implemented to the letter. It is important that as we move forward, this approach that you have brought to this Floor is very encouraging; that when Petitions are completed, they have to be read the way Hon. Amina has done. This will help us in terms of monitoring the issues of implementation. As we know, matters of environment are very critical as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). My humble request to the other Committee Members is to move with speed and particularly when it comes to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. Hon. Melly had brought a Petition about the prayers in schools. It is over two months now, the 60 days that you had indicated and it seems even the Chair is not aware that there was a Petition that was brought to the Floor of the House on behalf of parents and guardians from Trans Nzoia County, and they have been waiting. I can see St. Joseph’s School from Trans Nzoia is here. Their parents are waiting for this Petition. So, I am calling upon Hon. Melly to move with speed and bring a Report on the Floor of the House pertaining to the banning of prayers in secondary schools. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, support."
