    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2021 be read a Second Time. In September, 2020, Parliament approved the third basis for allocation of the share of national revenue among the county governments on condition that the formula’s implementation will be preceded by Kshs53.5 billion increase in the counties equitable revenue share. This is an experience we all went through in this Senate. This is the prime reason the Senate exits to ensure that the counties develop. I wish to pick it from another angle from what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said that having done all this, when the money goes to the counties--- Going by the Auditor General’s financial report of 2014/2015 about the misgivings in the counties, certain things have to be done in the counties to ensure that money is used the way it is meant to be used. It is unfortunate to hear that Kshs22 billion was allocated but not used in the FY 2020/2021 yet workers in Taita Taveta and Makueni counties did not receive their salaries. When the Chair of the committee was moving this Bill, he said that we need to incorporate TSAS, so that we ensure that what goes into this kitty is appropriately used for what it is meant."
