    "content": "For instance, we have devolved agriculture, which is the backbone of this country. Almost over 60 per cent of our economy is reliant on agriculture. When we have devolved agriculture and the funds allocated in that area are not properly applied, there is no way this country can move forward. Therefore, through this House, we request to strengthen the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act to ensure we have even stronger mechanism to guide and oversight the huge funds we are taking to the counties. We are pushing for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) so as to increase funding up to 35 per cent. If we push for more funds without better controls, then it means we are increasing wastage."
