    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the unpaid allowances for Wajir County Government Lands Tribunal Committee and the Municipality Board members. The Lands Tribunal Committee was appointed on 18th September, 2020 by the County Secretary in a term of three years, while the County Municipality Board members were appointed on 15th February, 2019 through a Gazette Notice No.1157 by the county governor for five years. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the failure of the county government to pay the Lands Tribunal and the municipality board members sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the value of public service. the Statement, the Committee should:- (1) State the stipulated seating allowances for the Lands Tribunal Committee and the Municipality Board members per the seating. (2) Disclose the number of months the County Government of Wajir has failed to pay the members of the Lands Tribunal Committee and the Municipality Board their allowances since inception and give reasons for the delay. (3) Table approved budgets of the FY2019/2020 to date and indicate the total amount allocated for allowances for such boards and committees in the county budget and detail the itemized expenditures that depleted the set allocation of allowances thus resulting in the non-payment of allowances. (4) State measures the county government has instituted to ensure that the unpaid allowances are paid accordingly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have another Statement."
