    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to debate on this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I stand to oppose this Motion. I have sat here sadly listening to the excuses the Government is giving with regard to why we should go on Recess. One of it is that the Minister of State for Defence said that we need to go so that we can have nyama choma and soda . Another Minister said that we need to go so that we can do homework for our children. A comment by another Minister was that we need to go because we are tired. I want to concur with Mr. C. Kilonzo. When I look at the Front Bench, I see that the only Minister who can pass that test for working very hard and say he is tired is the hon. Michuki! This is because he has been all over the country. The other day he was in Mau Forest despite the fact that Mau Forest does not fall under his docket, but he was there. That shows the views and interest the Minister has in working for this nation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are saying that, this time round, the Government must stop throwing blame at the Opposition. Any time they want to close business, they would say that the Back-benchers have not filed enough Motions, Bills and Questions. This time we have enough Bills, Motions and Questions for the business of the House to be transacted. Therefore---"
