"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to join my colleagues in thanking and congratulating Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, for the petition he has brought to this House. The contributions of some of these councillors from the defunct local authorities can be seen in our counties today. No wonder most of the counties are collecting far less revenue, than they used to collect. Even with the little resources available to them then, we can still see the track of development in our local authorities much better than we can see from the counties. I want to support the petition and hope that the Committee that will be handling it will deal with it expeditiously so that we can look at the welfare of these councillors. I am sure that councillors from Machakos County did much more than some of the things that are being done by the renowned film maker from Machakos. I support this petition and I wish that we expedite the process to ensure that councillors’ welfare is sorted out."
