Murungi","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":2802,"legal_name":"Kathuri Murungi","slug":"kathuri-murungi"},"content":"Yes, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to thank the Committee, which I am a Member, for this Petition. I want to note that this Petition was brought directly to this House by members of the community. If this community had consulted their Member of Parliament, who is in this House and has contributed to this Petition, maybe it could have been directed better on how to handle this Petition. This is because you can see that the issues that the community wanted addressed have not been addressed. I want to observe that sometimes we handle petitions, and in the process add other things as a Committee. For example, we now have several recommendations that were not part of the prayers. What should this House do with the recommendations? This is because we are not answering to the prayers and yet the Committee has some findings and recommendations to put across. What will happen to these recommendations? Will they disappear to the blues because they are not part of the Petition or prayers sought by the community?"}
