    "content": "On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I had raised this issue concerning Hon. Kanini Kega’s ad hoc committee. I know Standing Order No.1 allows you to exercise discretion. We know again that this House is guided by traditions. Sometime back Hon. Wanga brought a similar Motion to set up an ad hoc c ommittee and it was declined. It was declined because ad hoc committees come in only if a matter is cross-cutting and does not have a substantive committee to handle. Hon. Kanini Kega has proposed an ad hoc committee to look at the issue of radicalization and insecurity, we have a substantive committee on administration and national security, which should handle that matter. Is it in order to allow the ad hoc committee that Hon. Kanini Kega has just brought on board, when we do not see the justification for it? From traditions, such has been rejected. Is it in order? I just wanted your direction on this because we have a substantive committee to look at the issues of radicalization, Al Shabaab and insecurity.
