    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a procedural Motion. I rise to second the Motion to adjourn to 6th July, 2021 and adjust the calendar so that we can give our good staff a break. Sen. Wamatangi has forgotten to congratulate our support staff. Without our support staff at the Senate and in our Committees, we would not get very far with all the reports. On behalf of our colleagues, I want to give you a hand for the work that you do including our able team of Serjeant-at- Arms who are always with us and all our assistants for the work they have done and braved the COVID-19. This is a good opportunity for everybody to take a break. The Chamber can be sanitized and committees can engage in some of the petitions that are pending in reports because they still have a lot of work, including the Committee on Health. We still want to know the fate of COVID-19 funds, misappropriation or lack thereof by county governors. As we go on a break, I wish my colleagues all the best in whatever endeavour they get themselves up to. I hope that we can find a method to fast-track every pending Bill. The Bills that Senators passed in the last Senate should come here. We should dedicate one afternoon or one morning and pass all those Bills because we have debated them so I do not see the reason why we should repeat the same debate or regurgitate the same arguments we have had here so that when all these Senators go back to their respective counties at the very least, they will have done their duty. The Senator for Kirinyaga County has a very interesting Bill on people using nicknames and other things in the elections. It would be unfair for people to go to elections and his well-researched Bill has not been passed. It would be a gross injustice to a lot of the people who have put in a lot of work. I hope that by the time we come back from recess, the Court of Appeal would have resolved the question of the Constitution Amendment Bill so that we know what to do. This country must move forward. By the time we finish our work, I hope and I pray that we will not have to adjust any other date. We must go for elections on 9th August, 2022. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
