    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologise because there is nothing to measure jet lag. It is known that when Parliament goes on recess, the Government is very happy. It is honeymoon time. It is time to play about and relax. But we have always said it is very unfair that you go and sit overnight and decide that we should go home tomorrow. We were here yesterday, even a small kamukunji would have helped. Then, we would have said, \"let us agree\", and then the House Business Committee would have sat. We have always insisted that we should be made to plan but we have not been given that courtesy. This year alone, if this Motion goes through and it will not go through, so far we have gone home four times on recess. The normal average Kenyan is only allowed 21 days to go and relax. We are not special. I have heard hon. Members say why they want to go home. But there are certain crucial issues, particulary the issue of the Kenya Railways, which requires to be addressed by this House. Before we go home, we need to get a final solution to that problem. The Prime Minister was here and told us that he will give us an answer within two weeks. We have no problem. Let the two weeks elapse and we shall go home. There is also the issue of Mau Forest. Before we go home, we want to hear the final solution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Ministers must learn to delegate. Hon. Members must learn to delegate."
