    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 227(2) (Committal of Petitions), this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the public Petitions specified hereunder which are before the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock by a further period of sixty (60) days with effect from 9th July 2021: (i) Public Petition regarding revival of the Kenya Cashew Nuts Factory presented by the Member for Kilifi North (Hon. Owen Baya, MP); (ii) Public Petition regarding development and marketing of miraa presented by the Member for Igembe South (Hon. John Paul Mwirigi, MP); (iii) Public Petition regarding safeguarding of the public interest in the use of Kangaita Tea Farm land in Kirinyaga County to establish a Japanese Specialty Green Tea Production Factory by KTDA presented by the Member for Kirinyaga Central (Hon. John Munene, MP); and, (iv) Public Petition regarding transfer of oversight of Kenya Leather Development Council presented by the Member for Kajiado North (Hon. Joseph Manje, MP). Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Committee already met various stakeholders in consideration of the above Petitions but requires further engagement to exhaustively cover the issues raised, and further, following factors that prevailed. As you are aware, issues of COVID-19 affected Committee’s meetings and proposed inspection visits, consideration of Budget Estimates for Financial Year 2021/2022 and the Supplementary Budget Estimates needed to be prioritised over other Committee business. The Committee concluded deliberations with the Sugar Bill which took much of our time as well but we were able to clear with it. So, the Committee has prioritised consideration of the Petitions during the short recess so that we are able to move forward. I therefore humbly request the House for an extension of the period of presentation of the Petitions by an addition of 60 days, effective 9th July 2021. I beg to move and request Hon. Chris Wamalwa to second."
