    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem of payment of allowances to Land Dispute Tribunal members applies across the country. All districts are having this problem. I want to inform the hon. Member that, in the last three years, Siaya District has received about Kshs1,031,200. In 2003/2004, Siaya District got Kshs229,453 and in 2004/2005, the same district got Kshs88,560. During the last financial year, the same district got Kshs550,000. The total amount is about Kshs1,031,200. This year alone, we have allocated about Kshs252,000. The amount will not actually assist our members because we have been given insufficient funds. However, we are trying to come up with a policy to ameliorate this problem. We are introducing a policy that will provide payment to members on the basis of cases heard and determined and not on the basis of attendance. This problem is actually disturbing us. This is happening all over the country. Meanwhile, we are still asking for money from the Treasury to address this problem. 2308 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 5, 2007"
