    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have just come from a prorogation. These parties were elected in 2007. These parties were aware that the first business of the House is to nominate a House Business Committee, without which we cannot operate. There is something called negligence. Kenyans are watching this political negligence. We must dispatch our business with due diligence and show the country that we appreciate what it is that we need to do. I agree with Prof. Ongeri that if we must adjourn, we ought to do so, for a maximum of one and half hours to allow these consultations. We can come back, set up a House Business Committee and start the very challenging calendar. This is the Third Session of this Parliament. We are engaging the Speaker in what he ought not to be engaged in because he is an ex-officio Member of the House Business Committee. Therefore, this is the responsibility is of the political leadership and of those people sitting here. I beg to support, but with reluctance and I suggest that we adjourn for only on hour. Thank you."
