    "content": "some of these issues should be directed. They could have many concerns as the Ombudsman, but when Hon. Otiende Amollo was the Ombudsman, it was visible, audible and we could feel it. I want to encourage my sister Florence Kajuju who is the current Ombudsman to ensure that she makes the public aware that the Commission exists and some of these complaints can be sent there. Even though Standing Order No.226 (3) only requires the Clerk to consider within seven days whether the Petitions meet the threshold in law. We need to define our own internal threshold. I see nothing wrong in the Senate receiving a Petition and recommending the petitioner to the Ombudsman to take up a matter, or recommending to the National Lands Commission to take up a matter. Most of the Petitions before the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources end up with the National Lands Commission. Recommending to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to take up a matter. That way we shall de-clog the pipeline of Petitions in this House and it will be more effective. Unfortunately, as things stand, the Petition must be dealt with within 60 days. Sen. Cheruiyot, who has expressed an interest in coming back to this House has a responsibility of making sure the Standing Orders are amended for posterity."
