    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion of Adjournment. It is traditional that before this House addresses itself to the National Budget, it has a period of respite in order to be able to even look at the issues that would accompany such an important debate as the Budget of the whole Republic. I also think that since the elections, this country has gone through a great deal of trials and tribulations. I am glad to support what the Leader of Government Business says, that we have now resumed our normal life in Kenya. It is time we also took stock of that normal life by taking these few days to think about the positive way forward. It has been stated here about the success that this House has so far scored, particularly in relation to passing of Bills and setting up of the Committees. The Committees will now begin looking at the Reports that should be before them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the new Members of Parliament will also take time to even study the Standing Orders, which are so important in carrying out the business of this House. As a Minister, I would recommend to hon. Members, particularly the new ones, to acquaint themselves very well with Standing Order No.37, which is, really, the guidance to the proper questioning of policies. The way in which policies should be questioned is well laid down there---"
