    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am the Chairman of the committee that takes care of the welfare of Members of Parliament. For the last two months, we have been seeking to have an appointment with the SRC. I do not want not to mention my sister Sarah Serem. We wanted to set sitting allowances for you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, the Whips, for the Senate Majority Leader and for the Senators, but we have failed. The SRC has, however, given leeway to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to set their allowances at Kshs80,000 per sitting while the SRC people earn Kshs40,000 per sitting. However, Members of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) which is constituted by the Constitution, earn Kshs10,000. Is that fair? Members of Parliament are nervous because we must engage the SRC. If we need to change the SRC Act, we shall initiate the law in the Lower House and then amend it here so that SRC is not seen to kill devolution or to be seen to have been created to tame The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
