    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this was also meant to deal with committee sitting allowances – which were actually not taken into account by the CRA – to be based on 12 months and not 10.5 months, as already learnt. Therefore, this matter was exclusively dealt with during the budgeting process. In fact, if the hon. Senator remembers, Schedule 4 of the current County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) details both the recurrent expenditure ceilings for the county executives and for the county assemblies. There is nothing beyond that, which we can actually deal with in terms of county assemblies. As far as we know, the assemblies are one entity and both the nominated and elected members enjoy the same rights. They are all entitled to get similar offices and allowances. Therefore, as the Committee of Finance and Budget, we are not aware of any discrimination against nominated Members. Thank you. I beg to reply."
