"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to second this important Motion. The alteration allows members one more week's break. As Members, we need the additional week to do some work. First, it will be a good time to reconnect with our families: children and relatives. Secondly, Hon. Members will use this time to take care of their NG-CDF in terms of oversight. We received the last batch of resources about two weeks ago. So, many Members have been unable to go down to their constituencies to launch projects or issue cheques. This is going to be a very good opportunity to do that. The National Government Constituencies Development Fund Committee gave us the figures for our ceiling for this Financial Year. Members, therefore, will use this time to develop project proposals for this Financial Year. That will allow even those who have not conducted public participation to take the time and do it to get to know what is needed in their constituencies. Hon. Speaker, you are aware there is an annual general meeting for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) team in Ghana in September. So, this time will also allow the team, which we launched this morning, to prepare for that important international event. As I conclude, Hon. Speaker, allow me, since I did not get time to speak after your Communication, to congratulate those elected to the Kenyan Branch, CPA Executive Committee and inform them that there is a lot of work waiting for them. They need to prepare well. Hon. Speaker, you are aware that the Chairperson of the Disability Network is Hon. Wanyonyi. Immediately after coming from Ghana, Hon. Adagala will assume the Regional Representation for Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP). She will also assume the Office of the Chairperson for CWP, Africa Region."
