    "content": "The Parliamentary Service Commission and the leadership of Parliament are working well. We believe that you are taking care of the welfare of the staff of Parliament also. We are going on a working recess. Out there, people think that Members of Parliament have just gone for holiday, but I want to assure the public that this is the time when Members of Parliament go out there to work for them. It is the time when we are able to go, evaluate and monitor our CDF projects to make sure that all the money that we have been given is properly used. I also want to thank my Chairman, hon. Benjamin Langat, for the wise leadership with which he has led the Committee. I want to assure Members of Parliament that we are able to pass our Bills without any acrimony, because we work collectively. We work as Members of Parliament, and not Members of any political divide. I wish all the Committees, especially the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, could work that way. Yesterday, we saw something that was not very pleasing. I urge the Chairmen of Committees to make sure that all Members of their committees are well taken care of, and all their issues are well articulated. I also want to thank my constituents for the trust they have shown in me. This is my second term. Whenever I am in the constituency, where I am headed this evening, we work harmoniously. Hon. Members should spend this time to bring their constituents together and continue developing their constituencies, since the mandate we were given by those people is to make sure that everything that we do is for the benefit of the constituents and not our own benefit. With those few remarks, I want to thank everybody and wish everybody a happy recess. I look forward to seeing you when we come back."
