    "content": "That is exactly why I am apologizing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise particularly to support this Motion. I think just this morning when I saw the Speaker at the Nyayo Stadium, my first request to him was that, it appears to me that there is so much Business of the House. I told him that it would be disastrous for us to proceed for this recess because we can only be recalled, particularly for the Motion of impeachment and other Motions that were urgent in terms of dispensing of them as the Senate, including the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. Some of us came with a clear mind on what we wanted to ventilate with respect to the allocation of revenue, particularly on the formula that continues to prejudice some of the counties, particularly the county I represent in the Senate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think the reason I support the Motion is because there are some of these processes that are time bound. If they are time bound, then we have no option, but to ensure that we meet the expectations. It will be expensive for this Senate and the Senators to then adjourn at this point and then only to come back for one or two specific areas which I think will be important. That also puts the challenge on the leadership of the House in terms of how they manage the House calendar. I think we can project in our planning both in terms of time and in terms of the Motions that need to be dispensed with. So, I think even as they put things on our table, they must consider the fact that we must respect our calendar and, maybe, in future, they should put in place The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
