    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for that well- guided ruling. I am sure they are seeing the effects of the mercury but the effects are dying slowly. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28(4), this House resolves to further alter its calendar for the Second Session (2018) as adopted on 14 February 2018 and amended on 1st March 2018 and 28 June 2018, by proceeding to a recess from Thursday, 30 August 2018, at the rise of the House, and resuming its regular sittings on Tuesday, 2 October 2018. Members will agree with me that we have had a long legislative calendar. As such, this recess is timely and important for us to join our constituents and families and friends so that Members can have time to interact. As the Chair of the CDF Committee has indicated, the amounts for Financial Year 2018/2019 are out. I am sure our constituency committees, under our guidance, will prepare work plans for 2018/2019 for the Board to approve. Number two, I am sure the great women of the 47 counties have also approached me that the Board is missing, hence the operation of the Affirmative Action Fund is in limbo. I have taken that matter and discussed it with the relevant Government authorities, so that in the next two weeks, that Board will be put in place and the other members to the CDF Board are also brought to the House. This recess will also allow committees enough time to consider the various petitions and reports pending before them. I am sure by the time we come back, public participation will have been done and enough reports for consideration by the House will be tabled. Hon. Speaker, we have no intention… If you would like to form a select committee, you can form as many as possible. It is the House to decide. It is not Hon. Mbadi and I who will decide. I leave that as part of the effects of mercury. With this one month recess, the body will get time to drain itself, for those who have that mercury in their system. I beg to move and ask Hon. Mbadi to second."
