    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Motion to adopt the Report of the Procedure and Rules Committee on the Review of the Standing Orders. The Statements under Standing Orders 46(a)-(f) and 47 and the portion of the Committee recommendations are very straight forward. It answers the questions that we have all had about the question of Statements. The sort of lack of interest by Chairpersons in the Plenary has been caused by the fact that they do not know how to answer questions. Once you put this in place, Committee Chairpersons will be under obligation to answer those questions requested. There is another step that they can call the Cabinet Secretary and matters can be addressed amicably. We do not say this loudly, but the Chairpersons of Committees have let us down in many respects. Therefore, Standing Orders No. 46(e) will take care of the work of the committees where they will give regular reports on the work of the committees. With that, we can live up to the expectations of this country that this is truly the ‘upper” House of the Parliament of Kenya. I second."
