    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the statement read by the Vice Chairperson of the Committee says a lot, but what is important has not been mentioned. We are told that the National Treasury wrote a report or a letter to the Committee and declined to implement the Committee’s recommendations. I thought that the essence of the request of a statement by Sen. Sang was what the National Government has done in terms of implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Labour and Social Welfare. Could you direct that we get the specific reasons the National Treasury feels that the recommendations made by Senate could not be implemented? As I speak now, I know many former councillors, for example, one man called Aketch who superintended over a region almost the size of Migori and Homa Bay counties sitting at home today with a tube in his body attached to a polythene bag because he cannot afford quality healthcare, yet he served the nation for more than 29 years. We know of former councillors who served for 30 years yet in all those years what they accumulated and the levels of comfort they have, is nothing compared to MCAs who have been in office for barely four years. There are lot of expectations by the former councillors from this House. Therefore, it is important that this House pronounces itself on this matter, whether we will sort them out or not. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
