    "content": "are allocating Kshs330 billion.” You must allocate what you have passed. So, you cannot pass this with the Kshs370 billion that is being quoted in the formula, without having a conversation. Let us not rush because of time. Let us not fear telling the people the truth. Finally, the Senate has abdicated its responsibilities. The problem is not allocation of money to the counties. The bigger problem in the village called Chepcholiet or Mugumoini or Chepswar where people are yearning for services. They have not been given water. People have been constructing roads using jembes and manual labour. And here we are talking about allocating funds and we are clapping that we have taken money to the counties. The Senate should have come up with a protection that any additional resources going to counties must be ring-fenced for development projects. Otherwise, county governments will misuse this money. The county assemblies have been swallowed by the county executives. They cannot talk on behalf of the people. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you."
