    "content": "This country cannot claim to lack resources to pay the councillors. If you look at our Budget, Kshs117 billion is allocated to support State corporations and parastatals that do not even contribute Kshs10 to the Exchequer. This is a huge amount of money that goes to waste. If you look at the other votes, you can easily come up with close to Kshs200 billion which our Government wastes. We cannot be wasting this amount of money when very many cadres that provide critical services to this country are not well taken care of. We are not only talking about councillors, but we have many other cadres including teachers and village elders. These are issues that we believe this Government needs to move swiftly and address. It should find a way of ensuring that these people are paid a decent salary."
