    "content": "Public petitions are very important modes for citizens in the country bringing their issues to Parliament. While Members of Parliament have avenues including Questions, Motions, Request for Statements, Bills among others modes, members of the public come to Parliament through public petitions. Therefore, it is important, as a House, we streamline the procedure of bringing those petitions here and also emphasise that petitions must be dealt with expeditiously so that citizens can get whatever it is they come here for. There are many pending petitions. The last time we heard that the Public Petitions Committee was swamped with undetermined public petitions. This is why we are saying there needs to be an expeditious method of ensuring that the Committee disposes those petitions. Hon, Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to second."
