    "content": "President. Therefore, to allow as many Members as possible an opportunity to contribute, we want to have those extra sitting hours in the mornings of Tuesdays and Thursdays, the mornings of Fridays, except this Friday, and the afternoons and evenings of Mondays to allow us to consider the State of the Nation Address and a lot of pending and urgent business that is before us before we go on recess. As invited by Hon. Zamzam and as host of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Games, I hope that we will all join the Speaker on 6th December at 6.00 a.m. on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) train to Mombasa. The Speaker will be on that train, and we expect to join him. We want to ensure that we conclude all the business that is before us. As Members are aware, we are going for the long recess and the Christmas break. We want to avoid calling Members back for a special sitting during that long recess by all means possible. That is the only time that our very hardworking staff from the Office of the Clerk and the entire National Assembly can take their break. Our staff are not able to take any other break throughout the year except in December. Therefore, we want to indulge them and not call them back for a special sitting to conclude all the business. We also do not want to interrupt the EALA Games. As the host, all the 349 Members of the National Assembly are expected to be in Mombasa, as you indicated in the HBC. As Hon. Zamzam has promised, she is ready with mahamri, korosho na madafu,"
