    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding payment of a one-off honorarium and monthly pension to former councilors under Kenya’s defunct local authorities. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) table a report on the status of implementation of the recommendations contained in the report of the Committee on a Petition by former councilors tabled on the Floor of this Senate on Tuesday, 16th February, 2016, regarding payment of a one-off honorarium and monthly pension to former councilors; (2) state the progress made in the implementation of a resolution of the Senate on the same matter made on 18th October, 2018, arising from a Motion filed by Sen. Kinyua of Laikipia; (3) state why the Department of Social Services and Security and State Department for Devolution in the National Treasury have to date not implemented the Committee’s recommendations on the Petition and the resolution of the Senate on the matter; and, (4) state when the former councilors will be paid one-off honorarium and monthly pension as recommended in the Petition Report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just allow me one minute to mention something on the Statement. Those Kenyan leaders are really suffering. They have been reduced to paupers and beggars. Something needs to be done to them. I thank you. 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."
