    "content": "who would come to my office for those meetings. The amount we were able to secure for the councillors was coming to Kshs250,000 each. Mr Speaker, Sir, we appealed that they consider an increment. I personally asked the President to host all the former councillors to acknowledge that they are the fathers of devolution, that we stand on their shoulders, and to even give them a certificate of recognition for the work that they have done and increased that amount. Appreciating these councillors would go a long way. If they were not preoccupied with this issue that has happened today, they would realize that we would also help them in many other respects. I still urge them to do that with the Councillors. We have scheduled a meeting for next week in follow up with the CS of Treasury to see that it has been incorporated in the Budget estimates, that all our former councillors are able to get that one off honorarium and that it is boosted a bit more, because they really gave service to our country at a time when we did not have proper devolution. On the second matter, I note that we had gotten a response from Kenyatta National Hospital and the Ministry of Health, which was not satisfactory. I will follow it up. Mr Malombe has been in touch as well with myself. I apologise. Normally, my Committee is extremely efficient. I do not know how we let that slip through our fingers. However, I will sort that out. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
