    "content": "I would like to inform the esteemed Senate Minority Leader that we are not dismissing it; we are just being efficient. As the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, if it comes to us, we will give fair hearing online, listen to the issue and deal with it very fast. In fact, that should be encouraged. It is efficiency. The Constitution says “within 60 days.” It can be within an hour, two hours or a day, but we shall invite the Petitioner and advise accordingly. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like just to request the Senate Minority Leader and Senate Majority Leader to amend our Standing Orders. If you look at Standing Order No.226, if I am not wrong, it gives the steps through which a Petition is dealt with. It says- “Where a Petition deals with a matter that is not in the mandate of the Senate, it is referred to the National Assembly” I think you need to add one more provision that where it is not a matter of the Senate, we can also refer to the county assembly. This is because it could probably be dealt with better in the County Assembly of Tharaka-Nithi."
