"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to support this Motion as a person who comes from drought prone areas. As it has been stated by my colleague, Sen. Jillo Waqo, we need to go back to our counties because there are pertinent issues that need to be discussed. One of the issues that need our attention is that during drought, there is lack of water. Even when the drought is over, at times there are floods which sweep away the animals that are weak. Counties also need our support to plan for the eventualities of having so many school drop-outs amongst our communities so that there are proper plans in place. Therefore, I believe that this time is appropriate for this recess. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to plead with my fellow Senators that as they go back to their counties during this recess, some of us come from different religious backgrounds. Please reach out to your Churches, Mosques and other avenues that you need to ensure that peace is preached within this country. In some of our neighbouring communities, there are children who were born 25 years ago who have never seen peace. Therefore, I request you all, for the love of this country, to ensure that our children and our grandchildren grow up in an atmosphere that is peaceful. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to congratulate you for being nominated in the Speaker’s Panel. We are happy to see you on that big seat as a woman."
