    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to support this Adjournment Motion so that we have time to touch base with our constituents. I think it has been quite a long time and this is the opportune moment for us to go and touch base and also start the CDF projects. We have just passed the approval of two appointments. I would like to talk about the one of Mr. Kimemia. We are where we are as a country because after we passed the Constitution, we were very quick to go and pick everybody from the streets and some busy bodies and put them in very serious Government positions. We have learned a hard lesson from what we did. We need to apologise to those who have been patient in the Public Service and have served longer. Some of them like Mr. Kimemia have served for over 30 years. But we have, instead, gone to the streets and brought people who think they know everything and yet, they know nothing. What we have done today is the best. We need to recommend our public officers; that is, those who have been consistent and those who understand what needs to be done. All these commissions that we set up, I believe it was a big mistake. I think for us to go forward, we need to correct that mistake. We need to get the right people so that the job can be done. As we go for recess, I wish hon. Members all the best. Let them do the best they can within the three or four days and meet here on Tuesday to transact the remaining business. I beg to support."
