    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I, too, congratulate my colleague, Sen. Sakaja, and his Committee for the good job they have done. This is particularly on the issue revolving around the former councilors. Last week, I met some of the leadership of the former councilors in Kajiado, Narok and Samburu counties. When you look at these people and the amount of time they gave to this country, you wonder why sometimes we become so insensitive. We do not recognize people when they serve the nation. This issue of former councilors is very dear to me. I will join and support Sen. Sakaja to ensure these individuals are given their send off package. It is a bit defeating when this Senate passes a resolution and it is not implemented. I think we need to be able to push hard for the implementation of all resolutions that we pass here because whatever is happening to those former councilors will also happen to us if we let it go on like that. I know the issue of the Transition Authority was rushed such that these good men and women who served this nation for many years were not really given what they deserved but we should not look back at what happened; we should now try and correct it. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
