    "content": " Order, Members. Obviously, that has nothing to do with this particular Petition because it has already been committed. However, for purposes of the way we deal with petitions, I will take the suggestion by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., so that we have a record of the correct position. On that basis, we will interrogate, but suffice to say that we have already raised the same concern that has been raised by the Deputy Speaker with all the committees that have the business of petitions pending for far too long. I am also aware that there are more petitions than we had anticipated, and because of workload concerns, they have not been able to prosecute them. It is true that the country looks up to you when they bring the petitions; they are looking for remedies. We should not delay them because justice delayed is justice denied. I appeal to the committees to take petitions seriously and device mechanisms to expedite them, like the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I want to commend the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights for that assurance and expediting all the petitions before them. That should apply to all the other committees, in particular, the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. Order, Members! I also have two other petitions. ABUSE OF OFFICE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE CLERK OF BUSIA COUNTY ASSEMBLY AND MEMBERS OF THE BUSIA COUNTY ASSEMBLY SERVICE BOARD"
