    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this is a Special Sitting today. You will recall that this morning you had to order for the Quorum Bell to be rung so that we could raise the requisite number of Members for business to begin. You can count the handful Members who are here this afternoon and from morning. I am aware that that Committee is now sitting. I am privileged to have perused through some of the documents that have been tabled before that Committee. You gave the impression that either the Chair of that Committee or certain members of that Committee are using the Committee to advance courses other than those they ought to be enquiring into. I have just looked at the business before that Committee. There are 55 Questions that have been referred to that Committee. When I checked at the Table Office this morning, it was not yet clear how many of those Questions have been responded to. There are 32 statement requests that we have sought, including two that I have sought touching on the lives and security of Kenyans. Some Statement Requests are on banditry issues in the counties of Samburu, Laikipia, Turkana and the recent skirmishes that occurred in Marsabit. Out of the 32 Statements sought, only 12 have been responded to. It, therefore, begs the question: why would this Committee be so overzealous to get into business that has not, in any way, been referred to it by the House or the Chairman? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
