    "content": "That response by hon. Mwiru explains the difficulty you find yourselves in when you read the current Standing Orders. Had information been available to the effect that the hon. Member is, indeed, a Member of your Committee before allowing that request, I would have directed that he presents his complaints to you in the Committee, as opposed to coming to the plenary; it is there where you will be able to prosecute the matter properly. I believe that the Standing Orders are also living, and they should be reviewed as we move on, because we are in a new dispensation. Nevertheless, I want to agree with the Chairman of that Committee, since the hon. Member is a Member of that Committee, and you know that right now all of you are busy dealing with Budget issues, perhaps, you should bear with your own colleagues in the Committee. It is not a matter for only the Chairman to deal with. The report will not be a report of the Chairman. It must be a report of the Committee. The House is not going to receive reports of chairpersons of committees. They are not reports of the chairmen. We receive reports from committees. So, hon. Member for Laikipia North, as you sit in that Committee, you can actively engage your colleagues there and within two weeks then your Committee can produce a report for the plenary."
