    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice on this important Bill. I want to celebrate the Senate for ensuring that the allocation to the counties is increased in this Financial Year, 2021/2022. I want to point out three issues. I urge the county governments to ensure that a big percentage of this money goes to development projects. Most of our counties allocate money for social programmes like women groups and other small programmes like food stuffs, instead of allocating money in physical projects, which can impact the life of their citizens. County governments should ensure that there is proper collection of own revenue for those monies to be reallocated to them. There will be late disbursement of monies or National Treasury without money. Since we are going for governors, we use the revenue that they collected. Therefore, we may not really get the much money that has been allocated to the counties. Maybe, it will be on paper. As for now, we have no monies for salaries and development in the counties because there is late disbursement. They must also put proper systems of revenue collection. Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, there must be proper use of these funds."
