    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second the amendment. The reason for adjournment, as some hon. Members have put it, is to have some rest, go to our constituencies and ensure, for those of us who are campaigning for the new constitution, that we are able to exert all our energies towards passing of this new constitution. But on 4th of August, this Proposed Constitution will be passed, if all goes well. As Mr. Ethuro has put it, we have so much business. The allegation that this House has no business to transact, that has been pedaled in the media for the last one week, arises from failure by the Government to put business on the Order Paper. It has nothing to do with lack of business. If the Executive would want to say that this House has no proposed laws to enact, or that it has no business at all, we should even go home for good; is it that the Government has no business? This issue is neither here nor there; namely, that there is no business for this House to transact. It is just that the Government side is adamant and does not want to bring any business before this House. Hon. Members have been frustrated for a very long time. We have business that has been pending for a very long time, only for it to be put on the Order Paper in the last one or two weeks, yet it has been lying on it. We also have reports of this House for which there is no adequate time. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second."
