    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding provisions of Standing Order 227(2) (committal of petitions), this House resolves to extend the period of consideration of the public petitions specified hereunder, which are before the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, by a further period of 60 days, with effect from 13th July 2021: (i) Public petition regarding safeguarding of public interest in climate action awareness campaigns to increase forest cover and fight deforestation, presented by the Member for Ainabkoi, Hon. William Chepkut. (ii) Public petition regarding encroachment and grabbing of public land and water catchment areas in Igembe Central Constituency, presented by the Member for Igembe Central, Hon. Kubai Iringo. Due to the situation this Houses faces currently, especially with regard to COVID-19 restrictions, the Committee could not dispense with these petitions in time. Bearing in mind that for the last 30 days or thereabout this House has been considering the main Budget and the Supplementary Budgets I and II, we were not able to conclude consideration of the petitions in time. We have engaged various stakeholders and most of the petitions on the same. But given that we are going on recess, the 60 days period is going to lapse before we are able to complete the process. It is due to these reasons that we request this House to consider extending the time for prosecuting these petitions by a further 60 days. I beg to move and request Hon. Chachu Ganya to second. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
