    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, towards the end of last year, a matter came before this House, the contents of which were referred to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. As a result of that, the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade tabled a Paper here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am rising because I have an interest in this matter; namely, in respect of the CMC Company. I had wanted that this Parliament interrogates that issue and, indeed, you referred the issue to the Departmental Committee, which has made findings. The Paper has been tabled but, unfortunately, I am requesting for your intervention because the Chairman has severally asked me to approach the House Business Committee to have this matter put on the Order Paper, but Members of the same Committee who sit on the House Business Committee have opposed any intention to have this matter discussed by the House. The petitioners, who are shareholders in this publicly listed company, their shares are not trading at the Nairobi Stock Exchange. The banks are moving on the CMC and my hope is that if Parliament resolves the matter, this situation can be resolved. I am begging that the Chair may make a determination and, if possible, rule that the matter be discussed by the House and be settled."
