Samuel Atandi for being elected the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The Division of Revenue Bill is an important document to the people of Kenya, the national Government and counties. In this Bill, there is an increase of Ksh17.6 billion from last year. That money will be important to counties because it will benefit them. I echo the sentiments of Members who have supported this Bill. Hon. Temporary Speaker, 34 counties will share the Equalisation Fund, but the most important aspect is the fact that the funds will be utilised for the intended projects. Although my constituency has been allocated money through the Equalisation Fund, it is very hard to see what projects have been done. I support this Bill and I know that the Fund will do better with those Governors who utilise it. Thank you."

            "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Division of Revenue Bill 2025. This Bill is drafted according to Article 218 of the Constitution. It seeks to allocate funds between the national Government and county governments and the Equalisation Fund. This year, the shareable revenue that is available is about Ksh2.8 trillion, of which Ksh2.4 trillion goes to national Government and Ksh401 billion to the county governments. As we do this, we need to appreciate that there are challenges in managing those resources and, as a House, we need to rise to the occasion and address two or three issues that are arising. One of the issues is pending bills that really drain the nation. Many contractors and suppliers to both the national Government and county governments have not been paid. This has slowed down the economic growth in the Republic of Kenya. We need to rise to the occasion and decide whether, as a House, we are going to pay the contractors and suppliers from the source, and then the same money can be reduced from the revenue that is sent to the county governments. The second thing is to ensure that we get value for money. By so doing, it will encourage the National Treasury to migrate to the e-procurement platform to ensure that it monitors all procurements in the Republic of Kenya. Lastly, we also need to look at the costing of county government services and see if the Ksh401 billion that is going to be devolved to county governments is giving us value for money. We have challenges in our counties, and we need to hold our governors to account to ensure that we have enough medicines in our facilities, access to clean water, and motorable roads. That can be done through our Senate and this House. I support. Thank you."
