    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. We are doing very well in terms of asking Questions, but as a House, we are doing poorly in terms of supplementary questions. That is why you will find that many of the Questions coming up are more or less similar in nature. A Question that has been asked by the Member for Tharaka Constituency about police mounting unnecessary roadblocks is a very common aspect and many of us have had that experience. We already have a Communication from the Chair that before a Member attends the sitting of another Committee as a friend, he must get the permission of the Chair of that Committee. That denies quite a number of us an opportunity to participate in the session and raise supplementary questions. The venues provided by Parliament are also inhibiting because they are small. Even Members who would like to ask supplementary questions may not have space to sit."
