    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. It is important that in support of this Motion, we should probably make it clearer as to why we are going for this recess to the House and the public that sent us here. Unlike what some people might think on the face of it, we are not going on recess. We are going to work outside the Chamber. We will be retreating to some corner in the country. Members, I hope that the communication has been made. Allow me to tell you this if the communication has not been made. I sit in the SBC, and it is important that you organise yourselves in terms of travel arrangement, to join us. The leadership of the House shall precede you on Sunday. We will work on Sunday night, Monday morning and join the rest of you when you come to the venue on 2nd October, 2022. We shall then work the whole week until Saturday. That is when we shall be through with the business then come back. You will have a bit of time to go back to the counties to do a bit of consultation before we come back on 8th October, 2022 for reopening. It is actually a working recess in accordance with the programme of this Senate. During that recess, we hope to rearrange our Calendar for us to be more effective. Over and above what the Senate Minority Leader has said, we will walk Members through the way Parliament works. In fact, I am glad that we had an element of altercation with the Chairman of Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Sen. M. Sen. Kajwang'’ on the important issue of unconditional grants. I was in the former Provincial General Hospital in Kakamega and they told me that they are straining because of the stoppage of that particular fund. I look forward to this meeting in order for us to align and unlock all those things for available and due monies to be released to the county governments. With those remarks, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
