    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have ordered that the Petition, through Sen. Wangari, be brought to the House in 60 days. That is exactly what you have ruled in more than a 100 petitions that are still pending one or two years later. The people who make these petitions, like the flowers pickers in Naivasha, must have a good reason why they seek the intervention of the Senate to deal with their case. They believe and trust that we will come up with a solution for them. It is, therefore, frustrating when it takes two years or goes beyond the Session and nothing happens. I kindly and humbly request you to make a ruling to the committees that are dealing with the petitions to adhere to the Constitution and our own Standing Orders, to make sure that the reports on the petitions are laid on the Table of the Senate in good time or give a reason for not tabling the reports and then seek an extension, assuming that it is possible to give an extension under the Standing Orders. It is frustrating to the people who seek answers from us and not get them."
