    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I look forward to the recess. I support this Motion for Adjournment. It will give Members an opportunity to engage with their people. I represent a constituency not far from Parliament, but the effort that is needed to pay attention to the people, listen to their concerns and suggestions about priorities and how to fix the economy, improve their lives, negotiate relationships with other branches of Government, including the county governments are important. So, I appreciate this time. We will also be out there praying for this country in general. I heard another Member saying that they will use the time for prayers. It should be a good time for reflection. I hope that all the leaders in this country will understand the duty entrusted on them to unite people and guide the country to greater heights, rather than divide the people and sow seeds of discontent and conflict which might bring trouble to our country. I am grateful again and I look forward to spending time in Kibra Constituency with my people, looking at human rights. I am also as passionate about the two-thirds gender rule as Hon. (Ms.) Nyokabi. We are working towards the same goal, perhaps through different paths. I will be collecting signatures in support of a popular petition to make sure that women are elected to the next Parliament and we attain the two-thirds gender rule. With those few remarks, I thank you and wish you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a great recess. I welcome you to Kibra."
