    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I rise to second the Motion of adjournment. This House has been very busy. Remember yesterday we even changed the programme and spent the whole day here. Members have worked very hard. It is good, as the Leader of Majority has said, that we take a break, reflect and meet our constituents. Breaks are extremely important, not only for recharging our energy, but also for consulting our constituents. Madam Temporary Speaker, Senators have been extremely busy with oversight. Various committees have travelled across the country engaging governors from different regions. We are in a very good momentum. In the Standing Committee on Education, we have met 18 governors this session, focusing on the education sector, particularly Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres. As we head into recess, we have encouraged Members to visit the ground and verify some of the issues discussed with governors. In education, we are prioritizing three key areas; ECDE, libraries and Vocational Training Centres (VTCs). Several submissions have been made. I also encourage Members to ensure that whenever a committee engages a governor, the host Senator should obtain the information and take the lead in verifying it. It is my hope that as we go for recess, the host Senators of the governors who have appeared before various committees will move with speed to verify the reports received from them. This is important, as our role in this House is to protect devolution. As its guardians, we must monitor ongoing activities and evaluate county performance. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
