Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. A few weeks ago, I brought a Motion in this House which I was very passionate about, but it did not go the way I wanted.

, what will stop the next person from doing something similar and creating their own background and context? I understand and see where Hon. Millie Odhiambo is coming from. That it is possible for him to use this to build a victimhood narrative. That is his business and for him to do whatever he wants. As for this House we saw what he did and disagree. The only way for people to understand that we disagree with what he did, is for you to name him. Thank you very much.

v) The Hon. Major (Rtd.) Bashir Abdullaih, M.P. w) The Hon. Teddy Mwambire, M.P. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are going on recess after the end of today and I was listening to the Leader of Majority keenly. One of the things that will be happening over the next four weeks is that a lot of our established committees will be dealing with the pandemic. Today, as a country, we have over 500 confirmed infected cases. In the last 24 hours, we have had 47 people infected, the highest spike. The COVID-19 pandemic will not wait for us to come ...

These are some of the things that bring me to the point of suggesting that as much as we are going on recess, as the Leader of ...
