    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of work! We need to go village by village to be told by the public what they expect of us. If we do not adjourn, it means we have to travel on Friday. When you travel, for example, to Bungoma, like is my case, you reach there very tired and yet on Saturday you are supposed to be on your way coming back to Nairobi. On the same Saturday, you will be expected to attend a funeral. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, surely, those who come from far like me and the rest, need to adjourn. Otherwise, you will be an absentee Member of Parliament. The worst that can happen to you is to be branded an absentee Member of Parliament. As an absentee Member of Parliament, you will find yourself at home. As much as you want to sit here so that we can talk the way we are doing, the people also want to hear us talk to them in the barazas at home. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have also made a little money. What is wrong with going May 14, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1063 home to share the money with them? There is a lot of hunger down there! Are you so selfish that you do not want to take a shilling to the people at home?"
