    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice to this Motion of Adjournment. We are adjourning at a very sad time in this nation on the issues of insecurity. This is something that we have deliberated on in this House. This is something that is getting out of hand, but my contribution would be that as we break, we should continue with the same messages that unite Kenyans at this very difficult time. We should not be part of those who divide this country in any manner either on ethnic lines or religious lines. We, as leaders of this respectable House, will continue to offer solutions and preach peace. For those of us who come from counties which have continued to experience this insecurity, we can use this time to go and talk to our young people so that they can see the purpose of peace and unity of this country. I know that a majority of us are committed and willing to preach peace. If we do not have peace, everything else that we have in this country is in vain. I believe that each one of us has a responsibility. Regarding the issue of Committees, there is a lot of work that we will continue to do. There is much more to do in the Committees. For example, as Sen. Ndiema said, the farmers are asking where to take their produce because the silos are full and there is a lot of rainfall. There are also some parts of this country where people are still hungry. I do hope that as we adjourn, some of the issues touching on the lives of Kenyans will be addressed at the Committee level. As Sen. Wako has said, there has been progress. During the first year, we were still trying to get our footing. However, that has changed and it can be seen with the number of Bills in the House."
