    "content": "It is not that there is so much money which is available for everyone. Any extra money which is given only extends that billion or other debt that eventually will befall not only ourselves, but also our children and grandchildren to repay. We hope that the money which is available within the counties will, obviously, help to bridge that gap, so that people do not keep fighting for months over a revenue sharing formula just because they feel that they have not got enough. I am not even sure that we have got accountability for what has been given. I am very encouraged by the efforts by the multi-agency teams in sending the signals to the counties that people will not misappropriate money and get away with it. We hope that those signals will continue to be there and the Auditor- General will give us more reports of the misappropriation of funds. We live in these counties. We see the developments which are taking place even by junior officers within the counties. Hotels and buildings are coming up. However, there is no surge in the bank loans which are extended to the counties for the development of those facilities. It basically says that there is an undisclosed source of money that is being used to put up all these facilities. It is not coming from the banks and relatives. Surely, it comes from the public coffers. Those are some of the things that we hope that the county assemblies will get sharp enough to get them. Our colleagues in Senate will also take up their role seriously to ensure that there is accountability at the county level. The billions that are sent to the wananchi will improve their lives by implementing the devolved function. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
