"content": "Indeed, it is only fair that members also appreciate that the matter of recess is no longer the way it used to be in other Parliaments. Hon. Midiwo will recall that Parliament never knew when they would go on recess or when they would resume. They were worse than kids in kindergartens or nursery schools. The question of whether or not the House will go on recess is no longer an issue. It is known in advance. I am saying this for purposes of informing some members whom I saw through electronic devices suggesting that they could block this particular process. The way to go about it would be to bring a Motion to alter the calendar. I am saying this because I saw some Members make such an indication. The Member is not in the House at the moment. He belongs to social media group, and they were exciting themselves. It is never done that way. Even if you congregated by numbers, people would just walk out of the place because the date was approved by the House. For us to change the calendar, you would have to bring a Motion, which I have to approve. As I sit here, I can confirm that I have not approved any such Motion. Hon. Duale, you are not anticipating debate because the House is due to go for recess later today. Hon. Gumbo, you have the Floor."
