    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I am happy that the Majority Leader has mentioned the issue of pending Petitions. Kenyans have a lot of faith in this House. That is why every single sitting day, we have three or four Petitions. However, every time Petitions come here, the Chair commits them to committees and that is virtually the end of the matter. I want to urge the Leader of Majority and the leadership of the House particularly the Committee on Procedure and Rules to amend our Standing Orders so that, one, we bring back the Implementation Committee that can deal with the resolutions of the House and committees. We had that committee but it was mysteriously scrapped and this House has no implementation mechanism of following up our resolutions and committee resolutions. Secondly, every time the Petitions are committed to committees under our Standing Orders to bring back the outcome within 60 days, no committee ever meets that. We have Petitions that have been pending before committees for up to a year. This is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
