    "content": "Thank you very much Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The Motion is very good. When we move around our constituencies, we are always asked about this issue. The old men and women tell us that they have heard the Government is paying them. That has never happened. I have just learnt a while ago that it is happening in 44 locations; not even districts. This is a very critical Motion. I would like to say that I support it. We have not set a timeframe when the guidelines contained in this Motion are going to be effective. To that extent, I wish to move an amendment. I beg to move that this Motion be amended by inserting the words “with effect from 1st July, 2011” immediately after the word “month”, appearing on the last line of the Motion. The reason is because we need to have a fixed time line so that this does not become an open Motion where the Government will say it is still looking at it. This is a very urgent matter. That is why we are saying that it must start in the next financial year. We know that the current financial year is on course and we must give the Government time to budget for the money that is required. I would like to ask hon. Members to support the amendment so that we can fix the implementation period to start from next financial year. I would like to respect what you said about time and will ask Mr. Oyongo Nyamweya to second my amendment."
