"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I am a bit uncomfortable with the amendment because it is not based on a foundation that we can touch and feel. I know for a fact that only recently, I was talking to the Governor of Mombasa. He told me that he actually uses all the money given to him paying salaries, a little bit on allowances and collection of garbage. In his view, he is actually getting very little. When we say 40 per cent, I wish we were supporting it with some statistics and data. For example, we could say if this is what they really pay as salaries and allowances, both for the executive and the assembly, then 40 per cent is a suitable figure. However, I only heard of public participation and they concluded 40 per cent is suitable. How did they arrive at this figure? I am not satisfied that the foundation has been properly laid for the 40 per cent proposal."
