    "content": "Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I wish to support my sister, hon. Nyokabi on the amendments especially bearing in mind that when we are doing any form of budget, it is also very essential that any kind of budget takes into consideration the issue of notes. Very many people are not conversant with the terminologies that are used. For that reason, I support and I wish to support the idea of having the budget very clear in terms of the allocations for county assembly members and county executive members. So, it is not the prerogative of the governor to say this is what county executives and county assembly members should get. I wish to join in calling for the support of the county assembly members. If we look at the remuneration in this budget, the remuneration for the county assembly members of 79,000 is honestly, in my opinion, way too little. We come from areas where county assembly members have basically not been there. These are people who have used a lot of resources for their election. When they call for an increase in their salaries and remuneration, I fully support. I look at Nairobi, for instance, if a county assembly member is living in a house that he or she pays around Kshs.35,000, because that is basically a two or three bedrooms house in Umoja, I think that, that money is way too little. I, therefore, join the rest in supporting that subsequent budgets take into account the issue of remuneration and increment of salaries for county assembly members. With that, I beg to support."
