    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second those two amendments as they appear in the proposed Motion. As I do so, because this mater came up yesterday, this Committee does not only need to respond to petitions or Questions from Hon. Members, it can act on its own. We all know that the Government has been doing the fencing project in the border between Kenya and Somalia. We felt that it is necessary that I state it because the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party did raise the issue and said no question was put forward. The new Standing Order No.216 (5) (h) states thus; “The functions of a Departmental Committee shall be to- (h) make reports and recommendations to the House as often as possible, including recommendation of proposed legislation;” Members of the Committee felt that such a project cannot proceed without the Committee playing its role of oversight. On that basis, the Committee engaged the various ministries concerned and one of the key issues that concerned the Committee is that of wars worldwide, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
