    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. I believe that, ultimately, we are pursuing justice for the residents of the islands. Even though the 60-day period has elapsed, last week we had a Liaison Committee meeting where we reflected as Chairpersons on the inadequacy of the 60 days provided by the Standing Orders. We agreed that it was important that going forward, we provide adequate time for consideration of these petitions. I conclude by asking the distinguished Senator for Kiambu County to visit Homa Bay County when the political climate is not foul or poisoned. I would like my distinguished Committee Members to come to my county and appreciate the beauty, potential and sit down with its people in a candid conversation, that is aimed at addressing some of the social and economic injustices that they face. Probably, when we go back to the Committee, we shall discuss because the postponement is not indefinite. I believe that we can find an appropriate day so that we can serve justice to the people of Mfangano. I have reached out to the petitioners and they are in agreement with me as their Senator, that this Friday and Saturday is not the best day for the Senate to visit. There is no malice, intention to defeat or derail the activities of the Committee. Had we spent a few minutes before coming to the Floor, we would not have given the impression that the Senator for Homa Bay County is out to derail the activities of the Committee."
