    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, they have taken so much of my time. A few minutes ago, we were discussing the President's salary. As Mr. Raila said, we should look at this issue in totality. We should know that the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is also earning peanuts. We should know what the President, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, Ministers, Assistant Ministers and all hon. Members of Parliament earn. Now, we are being sent home before I know what my brother earns. That is a very serious issue. This is not the time to adjourn Parliament sine die . There are a lot of issues on our hands. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a few months ago, the same Government was castigating hon. Members for not passing more Bills in this House. I am told that during the Fifth Session of the Ninth Parliament we have passed more Bills than in any other Session in the past. This Parliament has done a commendable job. However, it is unfortunate that people want to work and others want to go home. We are a working nation. How is the nation going to work if we are going home? On security, many hon. Members will come back with all sorts of stories about security in this country. I am glad Mr. Michuki is looking at me. Let security be paramount in your head, Mr. Michuki so that, by the time we go home, all parts of the country are secure! With those few remarks, I beg to oppose going home at this time."
