    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have always been unlucky, but thank you very much. I, however, stand to oppose the Motion. 2480 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 7, 2008 Many of the hon. Members have actually said that we are tired. I thought that when many Ministries were created, work was going to be easier. I fail to understand why some of us are saying that we are tired. Our country has so many problems. We need to address them during this recess period. We have been talking about going to solve the problem of the ongoing strikes in school. However, the relevant Departmental Committee is now going round the country, and it will bring its Report to this House. I wonder what kind of report it will bring to this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some hon. Members have said that they want to go to their constituencies to give out their Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money, but we already have committees on the ground, which deal with CDFs. It is our duty to make sure that we give those committees opportunity to work. It is also our duty to delegate some duties. We cannot say that unless we go on recess, we cannot utilise our CDF money. Some of us have already given out CDF money. We do not wait to go on recess, so that we can give out the money. There are so many Motions which are incomplete. They were suspended. We are now being told to go on recess when we are yet to get the feedback. So, I stand here to oppose the Motion. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
