Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had recommended that this matter be handled by a Committee of the Whole House.

This matter should be handled by a Committee of the Whole, which I will chair that day so that we can hammer these people properly. The Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) are legislators like us. They oversight and represent the people in their respective wards. According to me, their minimum salary should be not less than Kshs500,000. They should also be given car grants and mileage allowance to enable them move. If devolution will succeed in Kenya, then it will be through empowering MCAs and the Senate. Those are the only two institutions, which take care of the billions ...

We have no apologies to make. This is a matter of national importance that should be handled properly. I do not want to overemphasize on this matter. The MCAs are suffering. The Nakuru County Assembly was closed indefinitely today. The others have also closed because of salaries. County assemblies are currently closing shop. They cannot be able to move even to the assemblies and they have suspended their activities. Sen. Olekina, you can pursue other things but this is a bipartisan matter, on MCAs.
