    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to contribute to these three petitions. One, as you noticed, the Public Petitions Committee will have a lot of work. I do not know what we are going to do within our Standing Orders. I used to be a Member of the Departmental Committee on Lands under the leadership of Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai. We used to have very many petitions. It came to a time when we were always seeking for more time from the House to consider them. At the end of the 12th Parliament, there were several petitions which we did not manage to consider. I do not know how a Committee whose job is only to look at petitions from all areas will manage them. As we try to amend Standing Orders, we may need to re-look at what this Committee is able to do. Otherwise, we might just be presenting important petitions here on lands... I was there. I know how tedious they can be and how you have to travel very many kilometers to go and see those lands. You have to meet almost every day to consider them and bring the reports to the House. We are almost going to the first break, but we do not even have one report which has been presented here after all those many petitions that have been presented. As you sit with Hon. Speaker, you need to re-consider this issue of Public Petitions Committee. They might be biting more than they can chew."
