Hon. Speaker, I want to seek your indulgence that you step this Motion down until we make a decision on our Calendar, whether we will stay or we will proceed on recess.

Leader of the Majority Party, give me a minute. I am not a Jubilee Member, but an ODM Member and my leader is here. I am saying this because the decision on this Motion will be affected by the Motion on the Calendar of the House. If we deal with the issue of the Calendar of the House, then we will properly deal with that Motion, whether to extend the days or not.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We should shorten our contributions so that other Members can get an opportunity to say something. It is a fact that things are very bad in the country at the moment. It is also a fact that the positivity rate at 26 per cent is very high. It is one of the highest globally. Secondly, I thank you for protecting the independence of Parliament. Parliament must decide its own Calendar. Having said that, I have listened to Hon. Otiende and he said that Parliament needs to continue sitting because the other arms of Government have not ...

I am being honest. They did not tell me that I must die to serve them. I will not die. They better look for another person to represent them, not me. Let us be honest with each other.

was not part of the agreement I signed with my constituents. I am not ready to die. If it is only God who kills people, I will die at the time that God has planned for me to do so. I do not want to say much because there are other Members who also want to contribute. With those few remarks, I urge Members to support this Motion. Let us adjourn. The world will not end. It will still be there when we come back in May and proceed from where we have stopped today.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for indulging me. I have keenly listened to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. It occurred to me that we may be talking about different Bills. I think the Committee is coming up with another Bill, which they want to change the Constitution.

I did not attend because I am a promoter of the Bill. I was giving you time to give the Bill justice. This Committee is now claiming to have formed a sub-committee to go and look for experts. They are forgetting that this Bill is through a popular initiative. I and the promoters had engaged experts at length for two years and your directive was very clear: they should table the report on 23rd March 2021. This House should remind the Committee of their mandate. I think there is some confusion. The Committee may have misunderstood the kind of work ...

Hon. Dr. please behave. I am not a goat that you treat as a veterinary doctor. Give me time to speak, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, the Report the Chairman has presented here is fake, vague and is not one that this House can use to determine the future of this Report. In conclusion, this Committee is almost getting to a position that may force us to request that it be dissolved. If a Committee can get out of its mandate to go and look for other lawyers, yet some of its Members are lawyers... They want to seek the opinion ...

Hon. Speaker, thank you. I stand to support the Motion raised by the Deputy Whip of the Majority Party. Consultations are never harmful. People can continue consulting until they agree on something. This matter of NG-CDF is very emotive and important to Members of Parliament because it concerns their constituencies. However, I know that there is a lot of work that has gone into it in the last three days. We can take two more days to fine tune it and agree and make sure that we have all the monies required and then come back to this House and ...
