    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, our brother, Hon. Mbadi, is an experienced parliamentarian and he knows that Parliament does not speak in vain. I leave that to his conscience. The former councilors of Nandi, Uasin Gishu and Kakamega counties came to see me, formally. They told me that the President had met them and made a commitment just before he won the election. He told them that he would ensure that the promise made by the Jubilee Government--- No, the inter-ministerial taskforce was during the Jubilee Government. He said that he was aware of that taskforce and he would implement that decision if elected. God has been very kind and he is now the President. He committed himself to these councilors. Can the Cabinet Secretary undertake, as the financial advisor to the President, to go and make the necessary consultations so that the promise of the President and the expectations of the former councilors converge and we pay our old people. After all, paying this Kshs200 million will be a form of financial stimulus. They will spend the money in public and the economy, in their villages, will be vibrant."
