    "content": "Report to be brought before this House, up to date, we have not seen it! I would be remiss not to mention that the distance between where we are and the Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development is barely a one-minute walk. Why does it have to take more than three months for a simple Report to be brought before this House? I am bewildered. It is only this House that has powers to dictate to the Government that, if such a report has mentioned certain areas to be included, the gazettement should ensue. Why is it taking three months? The Report was completed a year ago and here we are still talking about the same thing. It is characteristic of Government offices that very good reports gather dust without any execution. On this, we are not going to drop the ball as a House. I, therefore, plead with you to ask the leadership here present, represented by three very capable individuals, to walk to Harambee House right now and bring that Report to this House. Thereafter, this House can direct when the gazettement of those needy areas ought to be done. Otherwise, it is going to be another charade here. This is the only House that never legislates or asks questions in vain. I, therefore, plead with you that the three leaders should march to Harambee House right now and bring the Report so that you give direction as to when the gazettement should be done."
