    "content": " Hon. Speaker, the fact of the matter is that the sensitivities of the issues that the Committee deals with make it difficult for us, at times, to report directly to the House. This is a security committee, but you will note that although we are talking about 101 Questions against 35 substantially reported to the House, even Members who asked the Questions are not complaining. Many are the matters that we deal with in terms of direct enforcement. I will give you an example. When the Members of Parliament from Kitui County raised concerns with the security situation in Kitui and neighbouring counties - Hon. Duale will confirm - we flew there under very difficult circumstances. You will not see a report, but the Members are very satisfied in terms of having the issues they raised addressed. That is the direction we will be seeking in future. Where an issue that needed to be addressed has been substantially dealt with, do we still need to report, more so considering the sensitivities of the situation?"
