    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. Indeed, the adjournment is necessary as it will help us do many things in terms of legislation. There are still ends that are loose and we must have a neat finishing in terms of legislation. Having the recess will also help the committees to have a retreat and wind up what is in the in-tray. The retreat is very important because that is when the Senators will come up to work on what has not been worked on. Even as we reach a conclusion in terms of law-making, I must say that the law- making process, especially being in the Senate, has been a big privilege for me because I have found myself in a situation where I am legislating and also representing people of my type, the PwDs, women, and the vulnerable. It is indeed a good opportunity and I must thank my party leader, Baba Raila Amolo Odinga, for giving me this opportunity to legislate and to represent PwDs. It is a big and good platform, and one that I am thankful for because it has helped me to give back to the society. It has helped me in looking at real and concrete issues out there and bringing them here on the Floor of the House that they can be legislated on. I would also like to wish my colleagues well, who are vying for different positions. Hon. Speaker, I take this opportunity to also thank you for doing a diligent job in this House. As you go for your campaigns as the Governor for Bungoma County, I wish you all the best in your campaigns. I am sure as you continue working on the ground, God will hear the desires of your heart. We still need you in leadership position because of the skills that you have. I would like to wish all my colleagues who want to come back to this House, as Senators, and also those who want to go to the ‘Lower House,’ all the best in their campaigns. As I wish them the best, I want to say thank you very much for the appointment that Baba Raila gave me because it has kept me strong and given me the urge to continue fighting for the needs of Kenyans. It has made me realize that I should always be a voice for others and forget myself and be selfless in the manner in which I conduct myself because other lives matter and they are relying on the way I represent them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we go for electioneering, I want to congratulate hon. Martha Karua on being nominated as the running mate for Azimio Coalition. I know very well that hon. Karua has political and social experience, and being a woman, I believe that she has"
