    "content": "authority to direct us to set up a commission of inquiry”. If the law says they can only act on their own motion, it does not appear injurious. The other issue is, that Hon John Mbadi rose under Standing Order No. 53 requesting for deferment of putting the Question which is perfect, but that deferment can only happen for one day. If I was to be persuaded to do so, I must appoint the time at which the Question is still to be put under that Standing Order No. 53. Hon. Members, having determined that the recommendations in the manner that they are, are not injurious I have only one issue that should be directed to the Procedure and House Rules Committee as to how in future we deal with all questions on petitions. I know there is a Bill, Petitions to Parliament Bill that one of you has proposed. You will have to decide whether you want to have that governed by an act of Parliament or through your own Standing Orders. As it is, when people bring their Petitions, when a Committee completes it writes back to them. It is like what you see written “RTS”, you return to sender the findings. The Committee could make recommendations which the House does not have to adopt. The House merely notes. As you all know, those kinds of reports are not as efficacious as those that carry a resolution of the House. Hon. T.J, Hon. Mariru, Hon. Omulele, Hon. Cheboi and I have some work to do because this is an area that we need to clean up even if it is for posterity. We do not have to be the ones to implement but those that will come after us will have more improved methods of dealing with Petitions."
