    "content": "I urge the House leadership and Public Petitions Committee that Kenyans are looking upon Parliament not to be a bottleneck in addressing their grievances and problems, but to be a facilitator. For us to do so, the Public Petitions Committee must be brought to order and told that it must process all the petitions, as required in the Standing Orders which is within 60 days. Any delay beyond that, the National Assembly should sanction the Committee to ensure that Kenyans do not petition this House in vain. They should not group Parliament as part of the Judiciary where a simple matter can take 10 to15 years in the courts without being concluded. We want speedy conclusion of matters. We have enough Members in this National Assembly; 349 Members are enough. We can even have several Public Petitions Committees, so that we expeditiously deal with petitions before us."
