    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to start by saying that I support the amendment. I support this amendment because after the referendum, we were on recess for several months. Now that we have come back to deliberate on national issues, we are being requested to go for recess for another month. We are being punched left and right; we are being told that we do not work. This is the time we must show Kenyans that we want to work. There is no fun in sitting at home. There are many pending Bills, such as the Cotton (Amendment) Bill. This is a very important Bill. Some areas in this country, where cotton farming is supposed to be done, have been neglected. The Government is not concerned about such areas. It is time we passed this Bill, so that the Minister for Finance factors issues to do with cotton in the Budget. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister must learn to work with hon. Members of Parliament. He should not think that because he was appointed by the President, he is above all of us. We might send signals to the President. To discipline him, we should have told the President, he is the wrong man for this job! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support the amendment."
