    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this adjournment has come at an appropriate time, noting that this will be an important period where Committees and Members can retreat to finalize on exit legacy reports of the House. When we resume on 7th June, 2022, that will be our last session as a House before we break for the General Elections of 9th August, 2022. This Adjournment Motion will also allow us to campaign, noting that this is a campaign season for most of us who want to become Governors, Members of National Assembly and those of us who will be defending our seats. This is an opportune time to relax with our families and catch up with our friends. More importantly, this being a very busy season, it is important to go back to our people, take our scorecard of what we have been doing for the last five years on the Floor of the Senate in ensuring that devolution works. It is also an opportunity for Senators to move around our counties and check the progress of our projects that we have had. Colleagues, when you get time, as people who are in charge of oversight, visit some of the county projects and assess whether they have met standards as provided for. I appeal to my colleagues in the political arena to continue preaching peace. Kenya is bigger than all of us. Let us not sacrifice the peace and tranquility of the country for the expediency of politics of the day. We have different political formations, but that should not be an opportunity to incite Kenyans by making comments that can bring disharmony."
