Therefore, I had to ask someone to do that on my behalf. But I had questions with that because I represent my constituency and I have a right to give a petition if my people have told me to do it. The direction I was given by the clerks is that it is not possible to petition your own because you sit in that committee. I think this is the communication that has been made to several Hon. Members of the House, including Hon. Omboko Milemba here, who said he was a victim of the same."}
