    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. This is a Motion that we do not need to belabour a lot. We are actually acting in obedience to our own calendar that we have set that gives us clear determinate timelines on when we start a session, when we go on recess and when we come back. This is such a time and I hope and believe that after this short, but very illustrious session, Senators will have the opportunity to go to their counties which are much larger than ordinary constituencies. We need time to interact and meet our electorate and also make sure that we see that the money we vote to send to the counties is being put to good use in terms of public visible projects. So, it is a time for us to be in our counties to have time, not only to see what is going on, but interact with our voters. Lastly, I think as we adjourn, we must remember our constitutional responsibility in terms of the Bills that were tabled today for the First Reading. We may be called upon any time and we should be able to come back and deal with the two critical Bills of revenue allocation. I wish all my colleagues a happy recess so that we come back in one peace. The current challenges we are facing notwithstanding, it is planting season for those of us who come from western Kenya and it is time for us to go and join our farmers. Thank you."
