    "content": " Hon. Speaker, Standing Order No. 227(2) provides thus: “Whenever a Petition is committed to a Departmental Committee, the Committee shall, in not more than sixty calendar days from the time of reading the prayer, respond to the petitioner by way of a report addressed to the petitioner or petitioners and laid on the Table of the House\". Petition No. 30 of 2020 on insecurity in Saku Constituency and the larger Marsabit County was presented to the House on 12th August 2020 by Hon. Dido Ali Rasso, Member for Saku Constituency. The 60 days’ timeline within which the Committee is required by the Standing Orders to consider the Petition and report back to the House lapsed on Monday, 12th October 2020. The Committee is indeed considering the Petition and Hon. Dido Ali Rasso has appeared and made a submission. Arising from his submission and subsequent deliberation by the Committee, the Petition raises a lot of weighty issues that require adequate time to investigate, including meeting several witnesses one on one and going to the ground to hear from the general public. The Committee is scheduled to meet the former Marsabit Governor, Amb. Ukur Yatani, and the incumbent, His Excellency Mohamed Mohamud Ali, tomorrow, Wednesday, 14th October 2020 from 10.00 a.m. In light of the foregoing, it is my humble prayer that the House extends the time within which the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security should consider Petition No. 30 of 2020 and report to the House by another 45 days from 12th October 2020. With those remarks, I beg to move. I would like to ask Hon. Makali Mulu to second."
