    "content": "Thank you very much Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to make an observation arising from what my colleagues have said, that is, the delay in presenting reports concerning petitions. As we approach elections, it is important that Members, particularly those in committees, become conscious about the sensitivity of some of the issues raised in the petitions. This is because if they do not handle it now they could contribute to causing chaos in our country. I have in mind the Petition by Hon. Omulele on the boundary between Kisumu and Vihiga counties. Unfortunately that Petition has been lying in that Committee where I am an observer and my learned friend, Hon. Chepkong’a is the Chairman. I have raised this matter orally before the Committee. I have even put it in writing, but nothing seems to be happening. In the meantime tension is rising along the borders. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am sorry for bringing this on the Floor. It is because my Chairman is not responsive. This is just one of the many petitions that must be done with quickly."
