    "content": "The issues raised by Hon. Dalmas Otieno are not matters that we can wish away. It is also not fair that so much business is referred to the Committees. The Constitution that Kenyans gave to themselves is one that allows any Kenyan to petition Parliament on any issue. Once the petition is brought, unless it is offensive or against morality and if it is not against the Constitution, it has to be considered by the House. The only way the House considers petition is through committees. We expect that there will be many reports dealing with petitions. We need to address those issues and find out when it is that we need to consider those reports. It cannot be that the Committees go out there, spend a lot of time and resources putting reports which never get to see the light of day on the Floor of the House, by way of being debated then either adopted or rejected. So, Hon. Dalmas, it is a serious point you have raised, but I know you are a Member of great experience and I would expect that you will be suggesting a way forward in the fullness of time."
