    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the onset, let me support all the petitioners who have brought these petitions to the Senate. It shows that they have faith in this House. I concur with the sentiments of my brother, Sen. M. Kajwang on the need to urgently review our Standing Orders. The timeframe required for a committee to report to the House is too lengthy. I will be consulting with Sen. M. Kajwang so that we can come up with relevant Motions to review those orders. We also need to capacitate the county assemblies. We know that they have undergone many trainings but it is incumbent upon us to work with them and direct them on how to deal with most of these primary issues which they can deal with in the assembly instead of coming to the Senate. It is also incumbent upon the Parliamentary Service Commission not to dilly-dally in raising money to Senators for oversight. If Senators had money for oversight, some of these petitions would be dealt with at the county level."
