    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also want to add my voice and support this Motion for Adjournment of the House. The Adjournment Motion could not have come at a better time. This is because what happened on the Floor of this House--- We saw Kenyans and elected leaders coming together and thinking about Kenya. I want to encourage my colleagues that we move ahead when we are in recess to further approach things in the same way. We need to further our togetherness, put whatever it is that divides us aside and put in place whatever puts us together. Hon. Speaker, both sides of the House, that is the Jubilee CORD coalitions should join hands and pass what was seemingly opposition side issue. But the Jubilee side, as a Government, joined the CORD Coalition and a Bill was passed. I want this behaviour to be carried into the referendum, so that we look at this issue as a country. I want to plead with the Jubilee side to allow the CORD hon. Members to go to their areas and explain to wananchi why they want a referendum. I will also undertake to invite hon. Ichung’wah, who is throwing his hands up, to Alego Usonga to come and explain to the people of Alego Usonga why the referendum is not necessary. We need not shade blood, or throw stones when explaining our differences. We simply need to argue it out."
