"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. You have just mentioned that you did not meet the Chair of the Committee with his team. That shows a red light. I want to say that you must now take it upon yourself to fix the Public Petitions Committee. It is stifling the business of the House. It will make our credibility go low. Previously, many people were invited to various Committees across board for their petitions to be listened to. That gave Parliament its authority, life and a duty to be distributed amongst so many players who are Members of Parliament. We changed our Standing Orders and confined petitions to one Committee, but it is not realistic. Hon. Speaker, take it up yourself and deal with it. Boutros Boutros-Ghali once said: “Only stupid people do not change their minds.” We can just change our minds; we must ensure that Parliament remains strong. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
