    "content": "Well, I think you have pointed it out correctly. Obviously, the Departmental Committee on Lands in the last Parliament is one Committee that had the largest number of petitions. Looking at the list of Members of the 12th Parliament, I note that a majority of them who were in that Committee are not in this House. So, even as you join that Committee, you should know that it has a lot of work. Hon. Gitonga, Murugara is here, his immediate predecessor was the Chair of that Committee. I see Hon. Sunkuiya, the Vice Chair of that Committee, whom you replaced. I can see the Member for Naivasha, Ndaragwa, Karachuonyo and the Member for Funyula, who wanted to become something in Busia, it is a fairly busy Committee. That is not to say that anybody is being scared not to serve in that Committee. Please, offer yourselves to serve in it. You will be doing service to the country. It is, however, one of the committees that receive the highest number of petitions just like Hon. Washiali has said, because issues to do with land are so emotive in the country. There are always so many matters that need to be resolved and since we look at Article 95, it is you who are supposed to debate and resolve matters of concern to the people. Then you have no option, but to deal with the issues that will come touching on land. Hon. Members, for lack of an alternative since it is the resolution of the House, I now have to put the Question.
