"content": "When a matter that was touching on dams - which we oversee as the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources - came before us, we said that the matter would be handled by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. That is what we want to encourage. Our committees should be courageous enough to leave out what they do not need to investigate under the Standing Orders and work on those issues that they have been allowed to investigate. I said this in the House Business Committee and I want to repeat it. As you make a ruling on this, I ask you to request the Office of the Clerk to help us to differentiate the roles of each individual committee. I am aware that the Public Investments Committee invited the Kenya Airways to this House yet it is not their role. Can you give me time to finish my contribution?"
