"content": "At our sitting on Saturday, 27th November, we deliberated on it and we shall report to the House even tomorrow. We are done with this issue. However, when you bring a Petition or a Statement, you may not be satisfied with the response because that is our work as the Senate. If that is the state of things, the Committee does not have to do exactly what you want. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can a bring a Petition to the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources and tell Sen. Githiomi that my prayer is that all title deeds of certain properties be transferred to my name. The Committee will obviously not do what I want or a certain institution should get unfair treatment. We will not always be comfortable with the results, but let us respect the Committees when they do their best in the interest of the people. We have actually resolved that issue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there was a statement sought by Sen. Wambua. This is a statement that is very close to your heart, as a former councillor, speaker, mtu wamashinani and chairman of a county council. This was on payment of a one-off honoraria and monthly pension to former councillors. I know that members from Narok County will be happy to hear this under the defunct Local Authorities. We had a series of meetings with the former councilors, who I respect a lot. They were led by Dr. Gitau of Nairobi. There was the team of the former Member of County Assembly (MCA) from Highridge and former Deputy Speaker; veterans of mine, including the former deputy mayor, Mr. Ngasha."
