    "content": "Almost two months ago, when you were seated there as the substantive Speaker, I requested for a report on a petition regarding a primary school’s land that has been grabbed. The petition was referred to the Departmental Committee on Lands. You had given directive. Two months down the line now, we do not have a report. I do not know what to do and you had directed that the report be brought before the House. The 60 days expired a long time ago and you had directed that the report be tabled on the Floor of the House so that we could deliberate. That school is missing out on the NG-CDF funds. The school is suffering. We wanted the Committee to ensure that we could take the next step of trying to acquire a title deed. Secondly, this may not be for you, but the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). For the last one-and-a-half weeks, we have seen some young men and women lining up going towards the County Hall to drop applications for employment. I think the PSC needs to be a little bit humane. These boys are lining up for over six hours or the whole day. I think it is a bad precedent. It is a bad face for Parliament to see people queuing. Sometimes, and even now, they affect the flow of traffic around that place. I am not saying they should not line. The main problem is the hours they stand waiting to be attended to are long. I thought the PSC needed to be more humane in future and maybe invite them to a place. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
