    "content": "Hon. Members, many of you paid attention to the Report by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. It must have become clear to you that the Committee having done well in certain respects, has fallen behind in others because the petition by Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa has gone beyond the 60 days. There is one that was submitted by I think Hon. Lempurkel. There is another one that was submitted to the Committee sometime in June. In that respect, the Committee needs to pull up its socks. Obviously, Members who brought the petitions have also gone into some deep slumber, among them Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa. In their usual vigour, they have not raised those matters on the Floor of the House until the House Business Committee (HBC) came to their aid by requiring that we adopt this new procedure of ensuring that Committees apprise the House on various processes that are being undertaken. It is commendable but, nevertheless, there is need for Committees to act within the speed that is required. When it comes to the last point that Hon. Asman Kamama raised with regard to the reports, that again goes to the HBC and the Clerk’s Office is directed to ensure that those reports that the Committee has tabled are fast tracked for purposes of debate and adoption or resolution, one way or other. Before I give you a chance to say something, Hon. Kamama, let me hear from Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa. I think he has suddenly remembered his petition."
