    "content": "We need to talk about how we are going to remunerate and pay them first so that as we transition into this new scheme, we will have dealt with them. This Bill as it stands, does not bring on board the former councillors who served county councils and municipalities during their time. Where are we going to place them? In a matter of a second, we need to come up with amendments to ensure that the former councillors are paid. They have to be cleared so that we can move forward. I am very happy because the Constitution of Kenya brought in devolution. The champion of devolution in this country is the Right Hon, Raila Odinga. He had the best interest of our people at heart and that is why, as we move down and cascade the benefits to our counties, we have to ensure that our people enjoy the fruits of devolution. That is why with such a scheme, it is going to be extremely easy."
