    "content": "operator. These days, everybody says I am a Jua Kali operator. This is because we sanitized it and became a very respectable profession. People earn incomes through that level. They create their small micro enterprises, micro industries and earn decent incomes and cope with the vagaries of life. I must at this stage comment on the issue of the BBI. BBI is not a political tool. It is looking at those elements that were unable to create favourable climate for us to create wealth and capital for our nation. The transfer of 35 per cent of resources to county governments is a welcome idea. It was not hinged on the Constitution; it was only stated that we could then come here and argue through Division of Revenue Bill and Count Allocation of Revenue Bill. You noticed how tedious it was for us to reach an agreement. Now, it is clearly spelt out based on the current budgetary proposals. I hope that is the trend, it will take when we finally come to vote for it which will mean so much for very county that is receiving that kind of money. My county is received Kshs7.7 billion this time. I expect that with this arrangement in place, this will take the resources to the county a notch-higher, maybe Kshs12 or Kshs 15 billion. What does that mean in terms of development? Much bigger portion of that money will go to development. Therefore, create the necessary infrastructure and prioritize the projects at the county level. At the ward level where some of these infrastructure requirements are needed to support the development at the county"
