    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am in the process of acquainting myself with these Standing Orders which we only received the other day. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all the same, I stand to second the Motion by Sen. Khaniri. We have had, in the past, situations where for one reason or the other, the House was sent on recess when maybe there was a hot matter in the House. If you allow me your indulgence, I can remind the Senators who were with us in the Ninth Parliament. At one time when we had just passed the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Act, the money could not be put into the accounts. The only way that the Executive could ensure that we did not demand for that money was by sending us on recess. However, when we refused to go on recess on Wednesday, I think by Tuesday the following week, the money was in the accounts. So, I am strongly of the opinion that we need to amend this Motion, so that the Senate does take a decision whether or not to adjourn."
