    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving assurance as the Chairperson of the House Rules and Procedures Committee. I just want to show the concern that chairpersons of the various committees give excuses and get away with not responding to Statements adequately. In the last Parliament, we were here for five years, and we got nearly sufficient answers. So, as we wait for the House Rules and Procedures Committee to amend the Standing Orders, can committee chairpersons up their game or leave that job for others who can do it? They did not come here for a ride in the park. Let them do their work because as we speak, we are seeing farmers from the Rift Valley complaining. There is a guy who was crying. He was about to burn his produce because it could not be bought. I think many of us have seen that clip on social media. While we wait for the Standing Orders to be amended, let them not give us very long speeches when farmers are suffering. Let them deal with the matter. If necessary, let the Cabinet Secretaries meet the committees. They do not have to come and meet us in the whole House, especially when we have a monumental crisis like this one regarding maize."
