    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand guided. I rise to oppose this Motion on account of the fact that the Senate now needs to start planning its business more thoroughly. I particularly beseech the leadership of the House to take the business of this House more seriously. As other Senators have said, they should not plan business and then absent themselves from the Sittings of the Senate. Plan the business and be part of it. Therefore, the ambush of constantly being told in the last week before recess that we need to meet twice or thrice more to conclude the business is something that we will not accept. We do not also want to start creating a tradition where it is normal that every time we bring this type of Motion to alter our calendar. This morning, I chaired the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) and we scheduled to meet certain county assemblies and executives next week. Therefore, it would lead to rescheduling of other businesses of this House that are equally important. So, on account of that fact, I think that we will dispense with the other business when we resume on the 15th of September 2015. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose this Motion and urge my colleges to do the same."
