    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you allow me, I would also like to associate myself with the remarks made by the Senate Majority Leader, as far as the business of this House is concerned. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will be remembered that I have gone on record questioning the amount of work that our committees are being called upon to process, and the impression being created that our committees are not performing well. I would like to advise, with your permission, as a ranking Member in this House, that there are issues that are coming on the Floor of this House that, to a certain extent, diminish the dignity of the House. I have seen Statements that seek responses literally on paths in our counties. I know the Senate can inquire into any matter in any county, but there is no county in this country that does not have a county assembly. Apart from Nyamira County that has two county assemblies, the other counties have county assemblies that are functioning. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would request that you give direction on the matter of the threshold for Statements to be brought before the House, and the process of clearing those Statements, so that we do not end up with so much workload in committees that actually clog the work of committees and prevent them from undertaking other equally or more important matters like processing Bills and Motions."
