"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the chairpersons of various committees for the progress reports. I wish to say that this is a very effective way of measuring performance of the committees. How I wish, even the turnaround time for issues in the committee could be improved. The Chairperson has alluded to a matter which I presented to the Committee regarding ghost workers in Vihiga County. I am aware they have done a lot of work around it, but I expected that this matter be resolved within the shortest time possible because this is a cancer in my county which as a Senator, I have been working very hard to get it resolved. So, with the cooperation of the Committee, I expect that this matter will be resolved in the shortest time possible. Lastly is the issue of former councillors. Hon. Members will agree that every time we go to our various counties, we normally come across these former councillors; some of whom are living in object poverty while others have died. Every time we face them, they tell us about their plight and they know that this matter is before us. So, I would ask the Committee to speed up this matter so that these former councillors can enjoy the fruits of their contribution to this country. I thank you."
