    "content": "Where is the Chairman of the Committee? You do not have to debate. All you need is to raise your complaint that your petition, which was referred to that Committee, has not been dealt with. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, hon. Kamanda and hon. (Eng.) Mohamud, I direct that a letter be issued by the Clerk to the Chairman of that Committee, so that he explains why he is in breach of Standing Order No.227(2). He also needs to show cause why the petition should not be removed from his Committee and referred to a more active committee. If you are treating your colleagues that way, how then do you treat petitions from the members of the public? Members of that Committee, you are not the Chairman, are you? Some of you just want to be seen to have said something. I am not in the group that is marking people who shout or say that or the other. You are not the chairperson. The spokesperson of a committee is the Chair, and in his or her absence, the vice-chair. The rest of you are Members. Please, just occupy your place and space; be Members. When you are given the leadership position of the Chair or vice-chair, then you will be speaking quite regularly here or even addressing the media in your capacity as spokesperson or vice-spokesperson. For now, merely because you belong to a committee is not reason for you to say that you want to respond on behalf of that committee. We have directed what should happen. That is the route that we are going to take and not to hear other Members. All of you who have placed your requests, it must be a point of order. If it is not a point of order, you will be out of order and you will face the wrath of the Chair. Hon. Serut."
