    "content": "Therefore, I want to urge this House to rise to the occasion, treat this Motion with the seriousness that it deserves and, not only approve this Motion, but also support the subsequent piece of legislation, when hon. Linturi brings the Bill to amend the necessary provisions of the Local Government Act to allow the remuneration of civic leaders to be charged on the Consolidated Fund as a public expense. That way, we will be able not only to harmonise the expenditure in that respect, but we will be able to standardize the payments to civic leaders. Today, the payment to a civic leader in a local authority like Port Victoria in my Budalangi Constituency is incomparable to a civic leader in a civic authority like Nairobi. The only way to standardize those payments would be through a public purse that sets the standards for that. Therefore, I join my voice to those who are supporting the passage of this Motion."
