    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion for the Adjournment. I find it very hard to support this Motion because having been in the Ninth Parliament and seen what happened during the 2007 general elections---- The Members of the Ninth Parliament were accused of not living up to the standards of Kenyans in terms of performance in Parliament. I thought that the Tenth Parliament will be a bit different. But I can see the same thing going to happen again. We were judged by the number of Bills which we passed during the last Parliament. We opened the Tenth Parliament just the other day. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have just finished debating the Presidential Speech today. We have only passed two Bills to which majority of us never even contributed. That is because we were rushing them. I wonder whether we are truthful to Kenyans when we say that we are going to give them a Constitution within one year and, yet, we are here today saying that we want to adjourn for two weeks. So, we are cheating Kenyans that within a year, we will give them a Constitution. Why can we not start the foundation right now, instead of adjourning for the next two weeks? Mr. Midiwo: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member on the Floor in order to say that Parliament is \"cheating\" Kenyans? Is that Parliamentary language?"
