    "content": "various hotels in Naivasha; namely, Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge, Lake Naivasha Country Club, Lake Naivasha Sawela Lodge, Great Rift Valley Lodge, Fish Eagle Lodge and Lake Naivasha Holiday Inn. Hon. Members, pursuant to the Standing Orders, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are sitting days of the House. In order to hold the workshop on Thursday without contravening the Standing Orders, the Joint Chief Whip, Mr. Jakoyo Midiwo, MP, moved a Procedural Motion to adjourn the House until Tuesday 16th March, 2010. The Motion was seconded by the Joint Government Whip, Mr. George Thuo, MP. The adjournment Motion was, however, defeated with some Members stating that the retreat was not necessary. Hon. Members, by the time the House adjourned on Wednesday 10th March, 2010, some of the hon. Members had already travelled to the workshop venue. A total of 48 Members, including 15 Members of the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Constitution Review had checked in various hotels in Naivasha. However, as a standard rule, cancelations of bookings attract penalties for financial and other related losses incurred. Hon. Member, a total of 150 rooms had been confirmed by the end of the day on Wednesday 10th March, 2010. As a result of the cancellation, the National Assembly has incurred a bill of Kshs4, 221,645 which the Accounting Officer is in the process of settling. It is regrettable that the workshop did not take place as planned. However, I am confident that Members are committed to the Constitutional Review Process and I am hopeful that dialogue, consensus and vibrant debate will prevail in order to give Kenyans a deserved new Constitution. Thank you."
