    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is one of our core mandates as Senators to preside over allocation of revenue. In our wisdom as legislators, we have also gone beyond allocation of revenue and now superintending over the National Treasury’s responsibility to disburse funds to the counties and the times at which such funds should be disbursed. This Schedule carries the signature of the official signatory to the National Treasury of the Republic of Kenya, the CS for Finance, Hon. (Amb.) Yattani. I believe that his signature means something; will be honored to the letter and that these Schedules we have sent, will be respected and funds will be disbursed to counties on time. Even as we constantly cry the misuse of funds, the theft of funds by governors and their cohorts, devolution remains the Kenya Constitution, 2010 gift to the people of Kenya. It is devolution that has changed many things in the counties. Counties that were classified as Arid and Semi-arid(ASAL) and those who were sometimes closed districts such as where the Senator of Isiolo comes from and West Pokot, can now sit in their capitals and determine their agenda. With the little money they get, they can take control of their destiny. If well used, the money this Senate allocates to counties can do a lot."
