    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity, and allow me also to congratulate you for this position, as someone with a disability sitting on that Chair. It means a lot for Persons with Disabilities in this country. I want to congratulate Sen. Farhiya for coming up with this Statement. This issue does not only concern Wajir County, but there are many other boards where members are not paid. People are appointed to a board because of the trust that is vested in them, and when appointed, they are allotted work and duties. They spend a lot of time and energy doing their work diligently. It is only fair that they should be paid for work done. Even when people attend such committees, you will find that someone has used his own money, resources and travel expenses, which are meant for their families. There is need for board members to be paid not only their sitting allowances, but there are those who travel from far and sleep in hotels as they wait for the time to attend the board meetings. There is need for a fair hearing for all committee members. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
