    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you! I thank you because on a Motion like this, traditionally, hon. Members of the Back Bench and the Front Bench have an opportunity to reflect on how the House has been run. As we reflect today, we, hon. Members of the Opposition, must thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. We must thank you for your impartiality because, at the beginning, some people on the Government side thought that there would be no Opposition in this country simply because they had given each other jobs all the way up to 42 Ministries, not in any way reflecting on the cost that it was going to visit on the taxpayer! But because of the impartiality of the Chair, today, we have a very vibrant Opposition in the country, and members of the public are, indeed, expectant! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must not go on recess! We must not go on recess because the Right Honourable Prime Minister, when he was looking for votes, he told Kenyans: \"Vote for me so that kazi ianze !\". The President told the people: \"Vote for me so that kazi iendelee !\" Indeed, those two gentlemen, who are doing us a lot of good, none of them will be going on leave! How can an old man like the President not request to go on leave while we, who are young and energetic, request that we go on leave?"
