    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to agree with those sentiments. I am also a Member of the SBC, and I am similarly warning myself. I just want to propose to the Majority Leader because I am aware, like in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we have completed all our Petitions. Perhaps the Majority Leader should find space somewhere in the Order Paper where the responses to these Petitions are listed until they are completed. This will ensure that if, for example, you have the Petition from the person who said we should remove the cockerel from the Coat of Arms; this is listed and therefore, the Chair is obligated to stay here until that report is tabled. There is a reason why we have so many Petitions including a very urgent Petition filed by the Deputy Speaker about the sale of a building in Eldoret. When that Petition takes a year, then it defeats the purpose of bringing it to this House. As a result, the County Government of Uasin Gishu will quietly buy an old ramshackle building for an exorbitant price and it will be water under the bridge. When the SBC and the Liaison Committee meet, they should agree on the format of how committees can conclude these matters quickly. Even when the Petitions come here, they are only tabled and then the petitioner is given a report. The Chair is only required to say something if it is necessary. So, there is no reason for those delays. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
