    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. A lot has to be done to direct counties, MCAs and citizens on what needs to be done in getting a petition to be heard by the Senate. In the former Committee of Rules and Privileges of the Tenth Parliament which I served in, we came up with the Standing Orders, which included Standing Order No.223 as quoted by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. We put the same also in the Standing Orders of county assemblies. However, it is not well known by the people. I think the Senate needs to get a whole page of print and advertise Standing Order No.223 for people to know the procedure to be followed to petition the Senate. In any case, I believe the Speaker’s office goes through these petitions and most of them will reach the Committee after having been very well interrogated. I have seen some referred or returned from Migori County. I remember one was returned because it did not meet the threshold. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
