    "content": "Hon. Members, I would like to convey a petition by Luseno Family, friends and citizens on the alleged murder of Gladys Ritho. Hon. Members, Standing Order No.225(2)(b) requires that the Speaker reports to the House any petition, other than those presented through a Member. Therefore, I wish to convey to this House that my office has received a petition signed by one Geoffrey Luseno and 20 citizens on behalf of the Luseno Family. Among other prayers, the petitioners are praying that the National Assembly requests the Criminal Investigations Department, the Director of Public Prosecution, the Independent Police Oversight Authority and the Attorney-General to investigate, and prosecute those culpable of, the murder and subsequent release of the body of a deceased to persons other than the next of kin. The petitioners further pray that the National Assembly intervenes to have released the spouse of the deceased from a house in the United Kingdom, where he is allegedly confined against his will. Members, this petition stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for consideration. The Committee is requested to consider the petition and report its findings to the petitioners and the House in accordance with the Standing Order No.227(2). I must further emphasize that the Committee also undertakes to hear the Petitioners with a view to taking into account their views while considering the pertinent issues raised in the Petition. Thank you."
