Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I support this Procedural Motion which is in line with the Standing Orders. This recess is very important. It will give Members enough time to interact with our people at the constituency level. Noting that the NGCDF issues have become a hot potato, it will give us time to inspect the projects which we have been undertaking in the last one year. We will also reflect on 2016/2017 Financial Year because we need to come up with objective projects, which we will forward to the NGCDF Board. The 10 days recess is very important in this aspect. An issue of national importance is the IEBC Joint Parliamentary Select Committee. As a nation, we are looking at this Committee. These 10 days or the one week recess will give them enough time to concentrate enough, so that they can put their terms of reference together and discuss the issues that they need to discuss, so that they can utilise the 30 days which we have given to them and bring a report to us. These 10 days are also very important for this Joint Parliamentary Select Committee. We are family men and women and we need to spend time with our families, so that we can understand other issues in our families. Therefore, this is important for us. I support the Procedural Motion."}
