    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this chance to support this important Petition. Issues to do with land, boundaries and so forth are very emotive. The public still holds this House with a lot of confidence. That is why very important Petitions come to this particular House. However, I am afraid that the rate at which we are not responding effectively to them might not augur well with our petitioners. Apart from talking about the National Assembly effecting the County Boundaries Bill as stipulated in Article 188 of the Constitution, there was also a time we had suggested that we should have an Implementation Committee. It is also my suggestion that the leadership of this particular House may consider speeding the process of coming up with an Implementation Committee, so that it might help this House to sustain the confidence that public have in us. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these particular issues will come in form of Petitions into this House, but how we can sustain them is how we sort them out here. It is very important that we look for ways and means through which we can see to it that all the issues that come to this House, that we have discussed in our committees, recommendations and resolutions, are followed up to the effective level, so that we retain the confidence of the public. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is my suggestion that we follow up with the Implementation Committee that we had suggested and make sure that we have it in place, so that it can follow up on most of the issues that are stagnating the process of implementation."
