    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I also seek the indulgence of the Speaker on a proposal to amend the Motion as currently drafted. Whilst it is important that we adjourn to allow Members to go for the party primaries, the resumption of the House on 13th June, 2017 is an inordinately long time given the volume of work before us. We also have the short time to complete many issues pending before we adjourn for the elections. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are many issues that are pending. At this time of elections, there are many critical issues that come up that will require Members to pronounce themselves on. It is a critical time when I am sure immediately after the primaries Members who will have gone through them would be willing to come and address the many issues that affect this country and that will come up, especially around the election issues. These few weeks we have been here, my Committee has cleared all the pending petitions before it. For example, we have tabled not less than ten of the pending reports of the petitions. It is important that we appreciate that the Senate has still got critical issues that are pending such as those around money for the county governments that we have discussed earlier. There are also issues to do with accountability and the accounts that have been published. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to support but subject to the amendments I can now with your indulgence move. The specific amendment I want is to adjourn until Tuesday, 16th of May 2016."
