    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have looked at the proposals made here and I agree with them. The grants are given to the counties sometimes by the European Union (EU), the World Bank, Japan and other development partners, in support of different programmes. I have seen programmes that support small scale agriculture, health, and the energy. Sometimes, I have come across governors of respective counties who just because these are non-conditional grants, consider them as free money. So, they sometimes end up using the money to pay salaries, pending bills and other non-essential issues at the county, thus forgetting that these are funds allocated to the counties to spur growth and development. I have seen a loophole where in some counties, since the governor is the one in possession of the funds, ends up misusing them. Conditional grants come from the Exchequer with conditions. That is why many governors are crying that they have not received funds. They have not met the criteria set for them The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
