    "content": "I am leaving it to the House and to you to make sure that the people of Isiolo County or the petitioners get justice in terms of the Petition before the Senate Committee. I do not want to dwell on that matter. I have heard what was discussed but I am not happy with what happened because matters sub judice are not matters of the Senate Committee or the House. They are matters of other independent entities to question the work of the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have not done very well in this area. We cannot indict ourselves as a House of Senate. We must deliver on our mandate. Committee Chairs and Members, if I may say, need to take this work seriously because we are also representing people. We should not be taken round in circles. Three days ago, when I left, I made a submission to the Committee which I shared with almost each and every Senator regarding the Petition before the Senate. I gave you every Senator a copy. I also gave the Chairperson of the Committee a copy with documentary evidence in terms of the matter pertaining to this Petition. Unfortunately, the answer I am getting is negative. I do not know whether this matter, if it is referred to the relevant Committee, we are going to get justice. However, it is a matter of days, if Isiolo people are not going to get justice on this Petition, then we are going to be in trouble because this is not my matter or the committees but the oversight role of the Senate that is under test. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I wish everybody a Merry Christmas and happy new year. I hope when we come back, we will be vibrant to be able to deliver on our mandate as we are required to do. I take this opportunity to invite Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to second this Motion. Thank you."
