    "content": "Hon. Members, I think to be fair so that we do not go to the debate about MCAs and SRC, we revisit the petition by hon. Mithika Linturi. He has not been around and I am not too sure that I have seen any request for permission from him to be away. Perhaps, he might also attract the wrath of the House or the Speaker because he has not been in the Chamber for some time now. However, more importantly I think it is to want to appreciate whether the petition was couched under the provisions of Article No.251 in which case then there would be timelines attached to it. So, I will need to see that. Maybe the Clerk’s office will avail the contents of the petition to me so that by Tuesday next week I can give proper directions as to how it should be dealt with. This is because we cannot debate it now because it is not here and the Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation is also not present but the Clerk’s Department is redirected to avail the copies of that petition so that we see whether it was seeking the removal of commissioners under Article 251 because then it will be governed in terms of procedure by our own Standing Order No.230. If that will be the case then, it means that it may have been spent because they have not acted as required and tabled a report. So, they may escape if our own Committee did not act in terms of Standing Order No.230. If the petition sought the removal of those commissioners, then the Committee ought to have proceeded under Standing Order No.230. So, there is a possibility that the matter maybe spent, in which case hon. John Mbadi would be at liberty to revive it because as you note it came quite some time back on 2nd May. It is quite some months ago. Next Order."
