    "content": "debate among themselves and only then shall they become substantive business of this House for it to debate from an informed position. That is the object of putting this in our Standing Orders. It is very clear. It says the Committee will enhance the role of the involvement of the House. It is not left entirely to the delegations that went out there. I agree pretty much with what Hon. Millie has said. The Committee has the object of intensification and development of the integration process among others. Examination, inquiry and enhancement are there. It has been given that role to look into these reports before they come to the Floor of the House for them to become substantive parts of this House and to contribute. Hon. Millie Odhiambo said that during her time, the Committee used to move this business. I stand to be guided on that because I was here 10 years ago and these are not the Standing Orders that we were using. We were using different ones. My opinion in this case, both from a legal standpoint and our practice, is that the Committee is not supposed to do all the examinations, inquiry and enhancement of the rest of the report just for nothing. The Committee must play its role in this House."
