    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me first take this opportunity to congratulate you for being appointed to that great position. Let me also join you in welcoming the delegation from Meru County Assembly and tell them that they did well in choosing to conduct their benchmarking in the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Motion. All of us are aware of what is happening right now after the presidential elections were nullified. Yesterday, when we had our parliamentary group meeting, we were told to go back to the counties and look for the right chief agents to ensure that processes will go well this time round. As you all know, the presidential election was nullified on the basis of not following the right procedures. Secondly, Madam Temporary Speaker, this is the right time for us to go on recess, particularly after coming from an induction. I realise that we received so many documents and we need time to go and familiarize ourselves with them. In addition, I concur with my colleagues who talked about the recently disbursed county allocations. We need to go, sit together and look at the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) and give them some advice on how to go about it so that the residents can get value for their money. A few Minutes ago, Sen. Ledama was complaining about the civil strife that is going on between the Maasais and the Kalenjins who are bordering my county. The recess will be a good time to go back and preach peace to ensure that the strife is solved before the Senate Leader of Majority outlines the reasons that caused it. Additionally, the recess will enable me to go to the county because as we speak, five schools have been set on fire. The affected students need to see their leaders comforting and directing them. Therefore, the recess is in order. I support the Motion."
