    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in this country, councillors are among the very few important people who do not attract funds from the Consolidated Fund. They are at the level of the chiefs. All the needs and the requirements of the rural areas go to the councillors. Before they even reach the chiefs and the assistant chiefs, majority of our local people visit the councillors. Unfortunately, councillors from councils with very little resources, sometimes evade people because they have no money to give to them. As a result, they are bombarded that they are not working while in fact they have not collected enough resources from the revenue collection areas like the land rates and the toll collections. For that matter, they live in what we would call a poverty wage. That makes them very vulnerable even to the wealthy people in those areas who are likely to influence their decisions."
