    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion just because of two reasons. I am a new Member in this House. I have been here barely two months. Two weeks ago, I received my CDF cheque and I have, therefore, not started any project in my constituency. I have heard that some other hon. Members also received their cheques recently. They also have not initiated any projects in their constituencies. I sleep in my constituency and I know how much we are needed there. The problems there are supposed to be attended to on a daily basis. I am, therefore, requesting my colleagues to go home and attend to the problems affecting their people at the constituency level. Some of the hon. Members here were supporting the Motion that requires Parliament to have a calendar. I believe that if this Parliament had a calender, we would be going on recess this time as per the calender. I, therefore, believe that this is the time to go home so that we can attend to our people and also reduce the number of people who line up at Continental House waiting for Members. They keep on coming there daily because they want to see their Members of Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion."
