    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are going to be advantages on either sides. We have talked about reforms in this sector since the 1990s. There have been a lot of ideas and suggestions on the reforms that were to take place but nothing has happened. We cannot keep on waiting. Yesterday, those who watched and listened to the speech of the President of the United States of America (USA), must understand that we really must have change. It is also wrong for the Assistant Minister to say that we come here to discuss only issues that the Government would accept. We come here to debate in order to arrive at consensus. We cannot just be one-sided and take what the Government gives us. By the way, the Government does not give us anything in terms of reforms. I think this is going to help us harmonise the councillors' pay. There is no reason why a mayor in Nairobi earns Kshs200,000 or Kshs300,000 when a mayor in Vihiga earns Kshs20,000. If it is representation based on the number of people, then let it be like that."
