    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Motion. It is important that, as Members of the National Assembly, we should go to visit our people and tell them about the Government policies. We need to tell them what we have passed so far. It is very important that we have this little break. It is also very important that Parliamentary Service Commission ensures that the welfare of Members of Parliament as passed this afternoon is implemented so as to enable them--- This is not a favour. This is a constitutional right and, therefore, we should not fear to perform according to the Constitution. This House passed very important recommendations from the Committees. One touched on the appointment of the Deputy Chief Justice and the other one was on the appointment of the Secretary to the Cabinet. Therefore, we have performed our duty in accordance with the Constitution. The Parliamentary Service Commission should, therefore, move with speed to ensure that our CDF entitlement--- In fact, if the Parliamentary Service Commission does not move fast, that money will be returned to the Treasury and yet, it is money meant for the development of constituencies. The Commission needs to ensure that CDF money is in our accounts by Thursday. The staff can work overnight if they are paid to do so. By tomorrow morning, we can congregate here by 8.00 a.m. so that we are briefed on the matter. Then we will be able to go to our constituencies knowing very well that our constitutional mandate has been fulfilled."
