    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, I want to really support this Motion for Adjournment because I think we really deserve a bit of a rest for doing a sterling job. This Parliament will go into the annals of history as a Parliament that actually came up with the highest number of Bills within a short timeframe. I think we need to thank everybody; all my colleagues, for burning the midnight oil to make sure that at least over 20 Bills were approved within one week. That is not a simple job. If you look at the Lancaster Constitution, those MPs who were in their thirties at that time, Mboya and the rest, did almost the same job. So, I want to thank all my colleagues for that good performance. I also want to thank the Kenyans who contributed in the Kenyans for Kenya Campaign. As we talk now, about Kshs1 billion was raised. Our brothers and sisters who were hungry and suffering from drought and famine are actually getting food. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need, as a Government, to look into the plight of teachers. Let us not side step this. This is a real issue. It is a national challenge at the moment. So, I want to call upon our Right hon. Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and the Minister for Education to really burn the midnight oil to ensure that a solution is found. Lastly, on the issue of CDF, I want to congratulate my good friend, Mr. Oparanya, for liaising with the CDF Committee to come up with the names of the members of the Board and also ensuring that the tabulation of this money is done. However, we want the Kshs17 million to go to the CDF committees in every constituency. When you look at the Economic Stimulus Project, at the moment, it is really a challenge to finish these projects because they are being controlled by several Ministries. So, as we talk now, quite a number of them have actually not been finished. So, I want this money to go to the respective constituencies. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
