"content": "his county, listen to the MCAs as well as so many others. Sen. Thangw’a is not yet here. I saw a press conference from his MCAs. Time for Senators to be out of Nairobi is time still spent actually going about their constitutional duty. I do not take it for granted when colleagues request that we allow them at least two weeks to find time to resolve a few issues in their counties. I have seen the problematic Deputy Governor of Siaya County has begun his usual problems. Therefore, they need the wise counsel of the youth leader, Sen. (Dr.) Oburu Odinga, to sit down and perhaps try and bring sanity to the county. There are many things that Senators go about during their recess. Therefore, when we request that we need two weeks, it is not an abdication of responsibility. It is not in any sense dereliction of duty that Members are requesting for this period to be able to consider many other things. Over and above the individual things that some of them get to do, is only during recess. In short, that is why we have requested to move our recess period by a further two weeks so that we are able to attend to all those duties. Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for indulging us. With those very many remarks, I beg to move and request the indefatigable Senator for Migori County, Sen. Oketch Gicheru, to second this Motion. I thank you."
