    "content": " Hon. Speaker, the most interesting part is that village councils attached to the village administrators get some allowances. The question village elders attached to the assistant chiefs are asking is: If they are serving the same Government and people, how come members of the village council are being paid some honoraria, yet they who serve the national Government, which has the biggest share of the national revenue, cannot even be appreciated? As Hon. Baya said, the Budget and Appropriations Committee has a duty to this House to bring a report. It is Parliament that makes and approves budgets. It is Parliament that makes laws. For somebody somewhere else to stall the budget-making process is an affront to the Constitution of Kenya and the role of this Parliament. I request and beseech you to prevail upon the Budget and Appropriations Committee to bring a report, so that the House can take charge of it and make the relevant decision."
