    "content": "colleagues that out of that engagement, a healthy child has been born. You can see every person clinging parentage to that child. I think that is a wonderful thing. Many people have called us names, but those people have nothing to show for the success we have today. Some of them are waiting for this money, which they have not fought for, but do not want to come to this House to account. I do not want to mention them. I just want them to appreciate the fact that, it is this robust engagement that has led to the monies that they are expecting to utilize. I hope they utilize that it well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say that the amendments that are being proposed are also healthy amendments to have the monies released to the counties in time. One of the proposed issues is to enjoin the National Treasury and the Controller of Budget (CoB) to release monies to counties in a timely way and to ensure that counties are not starved of funds. Lastly, I want to thank Members of this Senate for that kind of engagement. It caught the attention of everybody, including the “People’s President” and the President of the Republic of Kenya. When the Senate and its leadership met in that House, everything good came out of it. I am happy to be associated with what has come out of it. I want to conclude because the mood of the House is that we dispense and dispatch money to counties, so that the “council of gangsters” do not continue with their gangsterism. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose and second that we do so. Thank you very much."
