    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is need to pay salaries to councillors from the Consolidated Fund. That is because whatever they collect as revenue in their local authorities may not be enough to support the allowances. I am saying that because I have the experience. I have been a councillor in Mombasa Municipality for 15 years. I have been the Chairman of Town Planning, Works, Housing and Finance during that time. Those days, chairmen of standing committees of local authorities were given offices. It was from those offices that they planned their departments. But, today, the Minister for Local Government abolished those offices. Where will chairmen of standing committees plan their duties from?"
