"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in 2014/2015, this House approved Kshs4.9 billion to go to Homa Bay County. In 2015/2016 Kshs5.6 billion; in 2016/2017, Kshs6.08 billion; in 2017/2018, Kshs6.5 billion; in 2018/2019, Kshs6.68 billion; in 2019/2020, Kshs7.149 billion; and, in 2020/2021, 6.74 billion. So, what do we have here? Which is the year under the review, Kshs7.8 billion? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Senate has approved the transfer of at least Kshs58 billion to Homa Bay County since devolution began. That excludes conditional grants and own source revenue. It is easy to say that in the past years of devolution, Homa Bay County has received and generated at least Kshs80 billion. In a County with 40 wards, if you are to do a pedestrian division of the Kshs80 billion by the wards, one would easily say that each ward should have received at least Kshs2 billion shillings since we started devolution. I know some of the money goes to salaries, and operations. Even if half of the money went to salaries, operations and the county assembly, even if only 50 percent was to be invested in development, Homa Bay"
