    "content": "I also want to talk about the recurrent expenditure. In most counties, this expenditure is huge. As much as the expenditure is huge, the complaints are also many. Most of the employees in the counties have not been paid their salaries. A majority of them are suffering. They have been kicked out of their homes because they are not able to pay rent. They are not even able to pay their children’s school fees. We have seen many people suffer at the counties contrary to what we believed that devolution would do. As I conclude, because a lot has already been said, I urge the county governors to prioritise matters. With regard to health care, it is said that a healthy nation is a wealthy nation. We cannot say that we are developing, and that we are wealthy, if our people are sick. Therefore, I will support and insist that when the money is disbursed and they start allocating it to different items, they should prioritise health, staff salaries and pending bills."
