    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that might be one way of preserving language. Our county assemblies are localized, so they should be allowed to debate in their mother-tongue as long as it is understood by everybody in the House and where it is not understood, there are proper translation services for people to follow the debate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I am trying to make is that, let us make the petitions as simple as possible. (c) be written in respective, decorous and template language; I do not know when language becomes respectful or disrespectful but it should be left to the assembly, the Clerk and the Speaker at any given time to determine as the case may be. (d) be free of alterations and interlineations in its text; (e) be addressed to the county assembly; (f) have its subject matter indicated on every sheet if it consists of more than one sheet; (g) indicate whether any efforts have been made to have the matter addressed by a relevant body and whether there has been any response from that body or whether the response has been satisfactory; Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are some of the provisions that are necessary and are borrowed from procedure of petitioning by this House; (k) contain only signatures or thumb impressions, as the case may be, and addresses and identification numbers written directly onto the petition and not pasted thereon or otherwise transferred to it; (i) not have letters, affidavits or other documents annexed to it; Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it must be a straightforward petition. Clause 4 (1) sates that:- “A petition to a county assembly shall be- (a) submitted to the respective Clerk by the petitioner; or (b) presented by a member of the county assembly on behalf of a petitioner, with the consent of the Speaker”. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
