    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That Petition, as you have determined, being rightful before the House, shows that we are faced with new circumstances. The pandemic has also affected our Standing Orders on how we should contribute during proceedings in the House. For instance, the other time when we were voting, some Members were even voting from distant places. This is a new circumstance that would force us to ask whether we should be voting within the Chamber or not. That is not even provided for within our Standing Orders. So, this is a new area that our Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs should look at. They should look at how Kenyans access justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. So, the Petition before the House is very timely. It will be good for the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to move with speed, so that this matter can be addressed.
