    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My position is that we are treating Hon. Ottichilo badly. He has come up with a very good idea which is very important for this country, but because of the failure by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives to carry out its work, we are purporting ulterior motives on him. In law, and it has been replicated in petitions in this House, at the bottom of a petition, you normally indicate that that issue is not pending in any court of law. Once a court’s attention is brought up, that a case on a similar issue is pending elsewhere, it cannot continue to deal with that issue. My proposal is that we have a look at the issue that is pending before the Committee. If it is similar to what this Motion intends to do, you will obviously indicate that we cannot use resources twice. Let that report first come here. If it is not sufficient, perhaps we can debate this. As a court would do, pend this particular Motion, investigate and inquire into what is pending before the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperative, make a ruling, and then we can make a decision from an informed point of view.
