    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, everybody in this House will agree with me that the work of our councillors is immense. They are the ones who are with our people all the time; so, we must facilitate them to do their work and not hinder them. There are many councils in this country that do not have any income to pay their councillors. How do we then expect those elected councillors to do their work? I am surprised to hear the Minister say that they have already done the work. How long is it taking? How come that the Ministry has not done anything about their payment? This House cannot be misled to agree to delay this Motion, simply because the Ministry is doing something about it. We know they are not doing anything about it. So, I am urging this House to ensure that this Motion goes through. I think we all agree that our councillors need to be paid well."
