    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish that the House leadership would consult in low tones. I know that there is a serious matter that is coming up. But be it as it may, the intervention was that, as the Chair of a Committee, I understand what the Chairman of the Committee on Roads and Transportation is going through. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose that in the future on serious issues of importance, for example, on the issue of matatu speed governors in the country, you would request that the Committee invites the Committee of the Whole of the Senate, the way the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations used to do on the issue of Huduma Number. That way, the entire Senate can have an opportunity to debate the issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think that our committees are helpless. However, you have to understand that some of these CSs run away from the Chairmen. We have tried to engage them, but sometimes, they put obstacles in the way. I, therefore, request that if we have a serious issue of topical importance, we should do a Committee of the Whole, as the Senate. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
