    "content": "A gardener serving in your garden for five to ten years cannot be rewarded with Kshs200,000. It should be more than that. The former councillors are not asking much. They just want Kshs200,000. As we discuss this matter here, we need to ask our brothers to be magnanimous enough. Now that the money was set aside, they should have it in budgets, so that this matter is dispensed with, once and for all. Those were public servants that served our country. During those days, we used to have councillors, Members of Parliament (MP) and the President. They used to deal with all the problems facing ‘Wanjiku’. They used to deal with many issues such as health and other functions that are now devolved and those under the national Government. We need to appreciate them. We are now in the third term of devolution since we did away with the councillors. We should and must deal with this matter urgently. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Kitui because this is well thought out. All of us should unanimously support this, including our colleagues in the National Assembly. I thank you."
