    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion for Adjournment. That is because we need the 10 days break so that we can meet with our constituents and agree on the projects for 2014/2015 Financial Year. That is because the Chairperson of the CDF Committee has tabled the figures for the 2014/2015 Financial Year this afternoon. By the time we come back, we will be ready to present and start work. Secondly, I have a suggestion for the Saba Saba rally that will be held on Monday. The reasons our colleagues are out there, especially those who stood for Presidential elections and lost--- I believe that before 2017, we need to amend the Constitution so that those who are vying for the presidency may also vie for seats in the Senate or the National Assembly and when they win the presidency, they resign. That way, those who lose will be in the House and will contribute towards building our nation. The reason we have Saba Saba is that most of the leaders are outside there and there is nothing they are doing. They are not busy and so, they have to create an opportunity to talk to fellow Kenyans. That is one of the things that we need to look at before 2017. I also want to thank the Chairman of the Mediation Committee for the creation of County Development Boards. Those boards will ensure that Senators and Members of the National Assembly are part of the county development committees so that we do not duplicate projects. Currently, for example, if there is a road in a constituency that has been allocated money, you will find a governor allocating money for the same road. By sitting in the same committees, we will be doing away with double allocation of funds for the same project. I support."
