    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that we do not want Ministers and Assistant Ministers. We want Ministers and Assistant Ministers who are working and whose work can be felt by the people in Takaba. Today, you are telling us that until we adjourn you cannot reach people in Takaba. You are needed here the most so that you can reach and serve your constituents in the best way by addressing their issues and problems. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, people have talked about the schools' crisis. As much as I appreciate that there are problems in our schools, our children have gone to their homes and the only time we can address their issues by consulting, guiding and advising them is when they are in their school environments where there are problems. They do not have problems in their homes. So, that is not an ideal reason for us to adjourn the House to address issues back at home. We have uncompleted national matters which are supposed to be addressed in this House. We need to have an additional two weeks so that we can complete the business of the House and then we can go out there and do other things. There are hon. Members in this House who have been in their constituencies every weekend addressing issues of CDF and constituting their committees and doing all the necessary things that are required of them. We are leaders and we must be managers. We cannot only be leaders and leave management and say that we want to adjourn so that we can be managers again. For one to be a transparent leader, you must be a manager. I beg to oppose."
