    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I join my colleagues in supporting this Motion of Adjournment. I wish my colleagues well and I believe we will have active sessions with the people that elected us. I am grateful that we will have the Legislative Summit in Kisumu where we will interact with Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). One of the greatest expectations of MCAs is the Ward Development Fund and I am glad that we are done with the Bill. That is an important Bill not just for MCAs but for all of us who believe in devolution and especially this House which is the defender of devolution. It is important to start looking at how development will trickle down to the wards. MCAs have been complaining that there is imbalance in terms of development in wards. I believe that our discussions while in Kisumu will bring this to rest. I also hope that we come up with Bills that will bridge the gap between what we have and what we ought to have. Very soon we shall have rains and planting will take place in regions that some of us come from. The recess is a good opportunity for us to meet with our constituents and encourage them in this difficult time because of lack of fertiliser and seed. We will be there to encourage one another on how to move forward. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to add anything but just to wish colleagues and yourself all the best during the recess period and God‟s presence in everything that we undertake. I thank you."
