    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am standing under the same Standing Order, which allows us to make small and quick interjections. I appreciate this because, really, you do not have any option once you receive a petition on any matter. It is good that this matter has been referred to the Committee; but there are two fundamental issues that this House, and, probably, this country at large, needs to address itself to. Number one, I hope that the Petitioners are not just stooges of some people who are bitter for losing elections to certain Members of Parliament, and are using innocent Kenyans to petition Parliament. Parliament’s time is going to be used. The Membership of the Powers and Privileges Committee could be doing something more constructive with their time, but now they are going to use their time to address this issue. Finally, this provision in the Constitution needs to be looked at very carefully. Probably, this House needs to propose an amendment to this particular provision. Twelve months is such a long time.
