    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support this Motion on the Calendar of this House. It is quite in order for us to go for recess especially at a time like this. Most of us are in the Senate for the first time and we need to have time in our offices to study some of the issues that concern our counties. Many of us are not conversant with The County Governments Act and The Public Finance and Management (PFM) Act, 2012, that runs many institutions in the counties that we need to oversight. Much of the oversight role requires us to have a lot of knowledge on what we are supposed to do, especially in the county institutions. We also need some time to look at the pending Bills that were supposed to have been tabled in this House. We also need to plan on what we will table in this House. This one week will be of great advantage to some of us because we have not been to those offices. We need to sit down and look at what is supposed to be done in the Senate. I also concur that there is the issue of the repeat Presidential Election which many of us need to take part in. We also need to go back to our counties and persuade our supporters accordingly, so that they can also come out and vote. According to this Calendar, it will be important for us to give the leadership of the House some time to come up with Committees where we can request for Statements. This time will also be of advantage to the leadership of this House to sit down and come up with the membership of the committees which we need to have after the repeat Presidential Elections. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support."
