    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second and support the Motion moved by the Senate Minority Leader, a renowned debater. He is also in the schedule of leaders in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, last time we went for a longer recess, but it was interrupted by a special sitting. I hope this time around we will not be recalled for special sessions. Let it be uninterrupted so that we concentrate on other issues. My Committee on Education will be holding a meeting on Monday. We have summoned the Cabinet Minister for Education to shed more light on the development of education sector and the reforms he intends to introduce. Therefore, quite a number of committees have already scheduled meetings and programmes. It will also be a very important break because we will attend the committees uninterrupted without necessarily thinking of House business later. So, it important that is noted. It is also important to note that many of the chairpersons of committees had challenges which they would wish to address during this recess. You know some of those challenges because you experienced the same when you were a Member of this House. We have been pleading with the Cabinet Secretaries to prepare statements for us to come and respond to hon. Senators’ questions. It has never been easy. Therefore, I am appealing to you as the Chair to make sure that at least you implore on these Cabinet Secretaries to be more cooperative and deliver statements on time. I urge that you have a meeting with them and tell them the importance of these statements. Otherwise, stiffer penalties could be preferred against them. I support and second."
