    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I know that under our Standing Orders, once the report of a Petition is tabled, we are not supposed to debate. However, you have some leeway to allow one or two comments. So, if you allow me, I want to begin by hailing the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources chaired by, Sen. Mwangi Githiomi, for the good work that they have done. Our rules require that once a Petition has been referred to a Committee, they have to report back to the House within 60 days. So many times, this does not happen. The reports come back much later. May be, we may have to review our Standing Orders so that we can live within our rules. This is because sometimes, it is not possible to report within 60 days because of investigations, meetings, report writing and all that. I hail this Committee because today they have tabled three reports of Petitions. One is from Makueni County about blasting of rocks and we have made good recommendations to protect the people in that county."
