    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. It is important for counties to be given the COVID-19 money in good time so that they can plan on how to spend the it. If they do not have the money in good time, it will be very difficult for county executives to plan and carry out public participation concerning whatever activities that need to be done. Counties are also straining in terms of human resource. Some counties are not able to pay their casual workers. Who can go for six months without pay yet they have families and basic needs? It is just fair that the National Treasury disburses money in good time so that county governments can ensure that they are also paying service providers. Sometimes service providers are not paid and this becomes very stressful. There is need to pay for any work done and in good time. When money comes in good time, there is also need to oversight on what exactly the money has done, so that it is not just being disbursed without checking on what is happening on the ground. There is need to have a balancing act to ensure that money is disbursed in good time and spent for purpose it is intended for, which is delivering of services to wananchi . At the end of the day, during these COVID-19 times, we want services delivered to"
