    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to make a very brief comment on the first Petition. Since the last Parliament, the implementation of decisions made by this House through either Petitions or Questions has been very wanting. I have realised that the Petition by Mr. Ngari of Mbeere South has come again after the first Petition that was brought by the Member for Mbeere South, Hon. King’angi. Hon. Speaker, that resident of Mbeere is again petitioning this House after the Petition was executed. Therefore, I do not know, through your wisdom, whether we can go another way of having a very special committee of the House to deal with petitions. There are too many petitions in the 12th Parliament touching on land. I do not know whether the Departmental Committee on Lands does any other work of this House apart from dealing with petitions which are coming here every day. I do not know whether the committee that is concerned with revising the Standing Orders can work on this matter. That is because when members of the public bring their petitions to this House or Members ask questions, decisions made either by the Executive or by this House are never implemented, I do not think we are really serving Kenyans. It is high time we rethought on the best formula to handle Petitions and Questions. I thank you. 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."
