    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Motion of Adjournment. This is a necessary Motion to allow us to go and do extra work on the ground in our constituencies and also to re-engage where we may have disengaged. From the outset, I would like to appreciate that, indeed, this House has done a lot of good work. We have achieved many milestones. However, there has been disengagement, sometimes noise and disagreement. The greatest achievements that have been recorded by the Tenth Parliament might not be seen because the citizens of this country and stakeholders may sometimes think that this Parliament is about the loud disagreements that sometimes take the centre stage. There are many things that have been passed by this House including the devolution in the areas of administration, particularly in the Provincial Administration. That is every constituency becoming a district; sometimes others being split into two or three. Almost every area has received some support in terms of infrastructural investment by the Office of the President in order to bring services closer to the people. There may be a number of areas which need more officers, for example, in the issuance of identity cards and birth certificates. However, some important steps have been taken."
