    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I seek your indulgence on one matter. The Chair will recall that about two months or so ago the Member for Bomet Central, my friend, hon. Tonui, presented a petition before this House that outlined very serious reasons for the removal of the Cabinet Secretary for Labour, Social Security and Services. It is very clear in the Standing Orders that petitions are supposed to be dispensed with within 60 days. We are aware that, that Petition is before the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare headed by my very good friend and able Chair, hon. Were. That Petition is special in the sense that it was touching on the competence or credibility of the said Cabinet Secretary. The rules of natural justice demand that it be disposed of within the shortest time possible because a Cabinet Secretary cannot serve endlessly with such very serious allegations hanging over their head. We are also aware that yesterday, there was a serious issue that was referred, again, to the same Committee touching on the actions of this very Cabinet Secretary. Would I be in order, therefore, to request that you make a ruling on this matter to the effect that regardless of the status of the investigations or inquiries, this House determines the competence or viability of the Cabinet Secretary, hon. Kazungu Kambi, continuing to hold office when there are more and more serious allegations being leveled against him by not only members of the public but also Members of this august House?"
