    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to add my voice to that issue raised by Hon. Koinange. As per what you just said, although it is not yet concluded, I feel that once a Member presents a Question on the Floor, it no longer becomes a Member’s concern, but the House’s concern. In my view, and in attending to a course of natural justice, I feel that Chairpersons should not drop Questions. Instead, they should have the alternative to transmit the written reply without necessarily having the Member interrogate the Question. A Member could raise an issue affecting a particular area, but also touching on the concerns of other Kenyans. Once we get a written reply, it would serve the purpose rather than dropping the Question at the Committee level. Let other Members have the benefit of listening and getting to know what reply the Member has received."
