    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose the Motion for the Adjournment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have listened to the contributions by hon. Ministers, namely, hon. Ms. Karua and hon. Wetangula, my junior learned friends, and I wish, with all due respect, to disagree with them. The time is not ripe for the adjournment of the proceedings of this House. It is true that many Members in this House have not had the time to visit their constituencies, look at their Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Committees and do other matters that are relevant to being Members of Parliament. However, there are many things that this House needs to deliberate. We are certain that there are matters that need the attention of the House and which are of national interest. I have in mind the Report of the Committee of the House dealing with the issue of Grand Regency Hotel and hon. Kimunya. To adjourn the proceedings of the House, as proposed, would jeopardise the public interest of Kenyans who are looking at this House to give leadership. My humble view is that this Motion be defeated and, if possible, the proceedings of this House go on next week, so that we can deal with matters of national importance. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
