    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate the team that actually tackled this matter this morning. But I also wish to express some reservations. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the SRC has been heard in the past to say things that they did not finally execute. Without implying improper motives on their part, I do not know whether their commitment today amounted to a commitment to the Senate. Consequently, is this something that can be followed up and made sure that it happens? There is a tendency in this country to mistake the MCAs with councilors. I think the mentality of most of our people, including the SRC, is that councilors are MCAs. There is a very big difference. Their roles are different and their terms are also different. The geographic areas they represent are different. Therefore, they should actually be remunerated like Members of Parliament, which they really are; they are Members of Parliament of the County Assemblies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only clarification that Sen. Murkomen should give is whether it is a fact; did the SRC commit itself to the extent that they will do what they said they are going to do? This is because they have been known to say things that they did not do."
