    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. On the outset, I would like to assure the people of Matungu and Kenyans at large that I am not tired. I am young and energetic. I do not see the need of us going on recess at this time when we have a lot of business which is undone. Why should we go home when we still have a lot of business to do? His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, whom I respect and like very much, has stated that we need time to go home and meet our people. We have been going home and meeting these people. Why should we be told to go home and meet them? We are elected and we know our duties. We will continue going home every weekend. As we finish this Sitting today, I will be on my way home, whether there is a recess or not. I always go home to meet my people. On the issue of CDF, I believe that we do not need a break to go and inspect CDF projects. That is our baby and we have been inspecting the projects all through. As we have been constructing, we have been inspecting. We do not need a break to go and inspect them. Those who have not been inspecting projects and meeting their people, even if you gave them a recess of one month, they would still stick in Nairobi. They would not go home."
