    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, this House do now adjourn sine die . We have had a very interesting Session. I think it is about time that hon. Members went back home and reflected the performance that we have had in this House since the beginning of this year. Recently, we introduced the performance contracts for public officers. As we call upon the public officers, heads of parastatals, Permanent Secretaries and many others to perform and to be assessed on their performance, it is important that hon. Members also are assessed on their performance. I believe that inspite of the fact that temperatures from time to time have continued to rise, I believe that a lot has been done to transact the business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because we are going towards Christmas, that is a time of goodwill. That is the time when people want to be with their families. For those who profess the religion of Christianity, that is the time when people want to love one another. That is a time when people want to forgive one another, if they feel they have offended others. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to call upon hon. Members that as we proceed towards Christmas, let us try and have charity in our hearts. Let us try and be tolerant towards one another. Let us remember that we were brought to this House to transact the business of making laws. Let us remember that we are in this House to try and serve our people. Our people require education, water, energy, electricity and other services. This is a time when we have to go home and discuss with them what their priorities are. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a great country; a country that has seen peace all the time. In spite of the fact that there misunderstandings here and there, I do believe that Kenya is a great country. Let us be proud of it. Let us work together---"
