    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to add my voice to this Petition from Kitui. I request that in your ruling on this Petition, you encourage the committees to handle petitions within the timeframe in our Standing Orders. I also have two petitions that have been in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for some time. I was informed that they concluded one, yet they have not presented a report to me, and the petitioners are still waiting. I know that there are many other cases in this House which are suffering the same fate. I, therefore, request that petitions should be acted on within the timeframe that is required. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many of our citizens have hope in this House. It is very unfortunate if we discourage them from presenting their issues here, because we take too long. The suffering forces many of them to go to court. This is something that we need to discuss and get a way forward."
