    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. In this House, we have the Front Bench and Back Bench. For the Ministers to know how this country is developing, we need this recess. Why am I saying this? If you take the example of the Ministry of Energy, we have given it a lot of money and we need rural electrification. We need the Minister to go round constituencies in order to find out how the money is being utilised. The same applies to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. We have given that Ministry a lot of money. Hon. Members who represent dry areas in this country, like myself, need to identify these projects and ensure that they are properly funded. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the various Departmental Committees have a lot of work. For example, the Departmental Committee on Administration, National Security and Local Authorities intends to visit the hotspots in this country and bring a report to this House. Another example is the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources. We have a problem with the Mau Forest ecosystem. This is the time to go on the ground and find out the real problems. As leaders of this country, we need to go back and heal the nation. We need time to move around. For example, Members of the Amani Forum need to go around the country to help heal our people. So, we need this recess. More importantly, some of the hon. Members do not understand the Standing Orders. They need to go and study the Standing Orders."
