    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The last time the Cabinet Secretary was in this House, I raised a question concerning former councilors. You can see that the issue about Pension, gratuity and honorarium is really recurring. So, you tasked three Committees of this House; that is, the Committee on Justice Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee, Labour and Social Protection and Budget and Finance together with the National Treasury to sit down and come up with a legal framework to facilitate the payment of honorarium and pension to former councilors. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the 60 days that you gave have lapsed. I was looking around and none of the Chairpersons of the three Committees is in the House. Since the Cabinet Secretary is here and he is also party to this issue, can he give a word on how far they have gone with that discussion on the legal framework? He had said that the legal framework is what is lacking for him to release the money to the former councilors. Thank you."
