"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand guided. The Motion is about our Calendar and in that Calendar, we have recess. We have seen that most of the times, people think that during recess, we go to sleep. However, recess is about going back to your constituency of the people who elected you, so that you can touch base with them. Amongst those people are plumbers, mama mbogas and housemaids. I am just encouraging all the Senators in the House that when they go for recess, they should not forget their house girls because those are dignified jobs. As I was contributing to that Motion, I wanted to place the importance of all jobs - Senators, National Assembly Members of Parliament (MPs) including your job in the Speaker's Panel. This is being addressed in the Calendar that we have there because the purpose of recess is so that we can touch base with the people who sent us here to represent them. As a specially elected Senator to represent women, most of us fall under the cadre of house girls. Therefore, I am speaking to this constituency of people because we respect them. Even if we have to export a million house girls to Dubai or to wherever--- I have lived in Denmark and some of these house girls are paid more than we pay the Senators in this House. Therefore, we should remember that for every argument we bring to this House---"
