If those people are not well paid and are not allowed to do their jobs as prescribed by the Constitution, how will they plan and beautify our cities? We must recognise councillors. We must give them work to do. Today, for a project of Kshs500,000, the local authority is required to recommend it to the Minister for Local Government to approve. Time has come for the Minister for Local Government to know that the type of councillors that we have in local authorities are well educated; they are like us who are in this Parliament. So, it is also time that the Government considered that those industries, from where the Government collects levies, a certain percentage of those levies should be disbursed to local authorities just to give them more financial strength for putting up infrastructure, expand health services, education services and do more on waste management."
