    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I comment, I want to thank you. I can see the new gadgets are now in Parliament. This will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of parliamentarians. Under your chairmanship, we thank you. My neighbour says he wants a bit of training. There are colleges offering some training for those who are not computer literate. I want to comment on the issue of lands. They know themselves. There are so many Petitions being referred to the Departmental Committee on Lands. My humble request, Hon. Speaker, is that you approve some extra sittings. Some time back, you indicated that Petitions must be dealt with in less than 60 days. There are so many Petitions which have been tabled and are still in Committees. As you can see, we receive Petitions almost on a daily basis. Matters of land are very critical. I had also tabled a Petition on Bikeke in Kiminini Constituency where people were displaced. Up to now, they have nowhere to go. I tabled another Petition on some land in my constituency called Meso Farm. Up to now, we have not got any solution on the way forward. I am also aware there was a Petition in this House pertaining to Chepchoina Farm which is in Trans-Nzoia County. It seems this Committee is overloaded. Maybe, you can approve some extra sittings so that if a Petition is tabled, it is expedited and completed within that period of 60 days."
