    "content": "The second issue that the Committee noted is that the county debt ceilings were improved on account of personal emoluments and settlement of outstanding bills. That is not why I rose. I did it for the matters that concern Nairobi City County. We debated the annual Budget Estimates this morning which allocated close to Kshs8.9 billion to Nairobi City County. On average, that is Kshs9 billion which is allocated to the Nairobi City County from the national Budget. We are talking about the county allocation of revenue now. Close to Kshs19.2 billion will be pumped into this City. Without even raising a finger, just from parking fees, land rates and other revenues that the Nairobi City County collects, it will collect a further Kshs12 to 15 billion. In total, that is close to Kshs42 billion in this financial year. It begs the question then: Will I see development projects in Dagoretti South Constituency to the tune of Kshs2 billion? When you go to Dagoretti South Constituency today, you will see the impact of Kshs100 million of the NG-CDF. So, will I be seeing the Kshs42 billion in Dagoretti South Constituency in this financial year?"
