    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. When we are talking about councillors, we are directly talking about the counties because they worked there. By the time someone is a councillor, that person is directly dealing with the constituency. Madam Temporary Speaker, talking of the time when councillors were in service, you would find that the experience they had was not very interesting. Very early in the morning at 6.00 a.m., you would find constituents at your door. The same situation was evident in the evening at around 10.00 p.m., when you were about to sleep. Madam Temporary Speaker, councillors played a big role in this country. It will be good for the Senate to acknowledge their work and contribution to this nation. Even the salary that the councillors were paid was not enough. However, with the little that they were getting, they gave it back to the constituents in form of donation for funerals, school fees and so on. Councillors were the ones who were on the ground and they knew the problems affecting their constituents. When they were in service, they worked tirelessly. They dedicated their energies to serving their constituents. They did not have time to rest. Moreover, some of them gave all their family time to the constituents because they were actually called to serve. By the time someone is a leader, you are selfless and you even lose your family’s and friends’ time; because you are called to commitment. When you commit and you are really keen on serving, there is no way you will have time for yourself. Therefore, councillors gave all they had."
