    "content": " This is a very important amendment, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. Whereas grants are important, we are not able to control the donors, and the best is for county governments to be put under performance contracting where the donor only gives on the basis of performance, the way World Bank is doing. The World Bank has put most Governments under performance contracting where they reimburse what has been used to do a certain project which they are committed to do. So, as long as county governments have not been put under serious scrutiny on their performance, we will still have serious issues on accountability. Finally, I want to also make a comment. In fact, I will look at it myself and propose to this House that we propose that we revert all county governments to a model which is similar to the NG-CDF, where at the end of the financial year, the projects which had been planned by county governments will never collapse. All projects planned must be implemented even if it takes four years, so that they are auditable and fixed. That is why we have success in the NG-CDF because it is fixed. Once you have planned something, you must do it. It is auditable even if you do it after five years. But in the counties, every year projects collapse and that is where we lose projects. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady."
