    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, since Nakuru has 11 constituencies, it means that there are MCAs who come from as far as Kuresoi, Subukia, Mai Mahiu and Maela. Those are very distant areas and if the MCAs have to commute to Nakuru during the time that they are supposed to be running business in the county, it is a big challenge. I have been supporting them and it is very difficult for me to continue doing so. So, it is important that the relevant bodies that are mandated to look into the remuneration of the MCAs in our country and within the various counties be sensitive and human. Mr. Speaker, Sir, someone said that Governor Kivutha Kibwana has high blood pressure and all that, because of the frustrations that he is getting, since maybe his county assembly is not running. If the governors are sick, then our MCAs are “dead.” If they are not “dead” then they are “buried.” So, it is important that we stand with the MCAs, so that they can continue with the confidence that they have been having with the Senate. This is because they say that we are their lifeline. It is important that all the Senators support this to ensure that we have MCAs who are comfortable and happy. By them being comfortable and happy, they will be able to perform their various duties in the manner that will benefit the electorate. I beg to support this Motion."
