    "content": "would be assumed by the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee upon dissolution of such entity is the TA. Hon. Members, clearly, the legislation that would extend the transition period and term of TA is one that concerns county governments and will obviously require to be considered by the two Houses of Parliament. By now, I have not received any legislative proposal to amend the said statutes from any Member of either House. I am informed that, the period that the Petitioners are beseeching Parliament to extend is inevitably going to lapse by midnight of 4th March, 2016, being barely half a day from now. Whereas the Speaker is obligated to convey all petitions to the House and refer them to respective Committees, I am afraid that this particular petition is coming rather too late in the day. It, therefore, serves little purpose, if any, for me to refer it to any Committee for consideration. In the circumstances, the best the Speaker can do, which I hereby proceed to do, is to ask the Clerk of the National Assembly to forward a copy of the Report of the CIOC on the Consideration of the Extension of the Transition Period and Term of the Transition Authority to the Petitioner. I thank you. Let us have the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Washiali."
