    "content": "Constituency by the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF), which was laid on the Table of the House... I would like to correct the date. It is on 5th of December 2019. It was laid on the Table of the House on Thursday 5th December, 2019. I beg to move that the Report be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order 227 (2) (Committal of Petitions) to allow debate on the Petition. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to make a few remarks. That aware that Article 199 of the Constitution read together with the Petitions to Parliament Act 2010 gives every person a right to petition Parliament on any matter, it is on that basis that Hon. Waihenya Ndirangu brought a Petition to this House representing a group of petitioners. As it were, this matter was concluded effectively by the parliamentary Committee on Lands and the Report was tabled in this House as indicated. Further, Standing Order No.277 only mandates the Committee to report to the petitioners, which was also done. However, recognising that this is a matter of public interest and the fact that it has information to be shared with regard to claimants and also the fact that this particular Report talks about pieces of land that were meant to be public utilities, it is in order to have this matter debated by this House. Also, cognizant of the fact that there is need for the House to make a resolution on this Report for it to be implemented effectively. Without much ado, I would like to move this Motion and request the Hon. Khatib Abdalla to second."
