    "content": "affect the budget. It will be part of this budget and it is a lot of money there. With all this money that the National Treasury is saying it will raise, it will be a lot of money to pay debts, but kill counties. I am here to defend devolution and that is why I will not be supporting this Budget Policy Statement. I cannot support a policy that will kill small businesses. We want to be progressive and not a situation where everything in this country is about the Benjamins and bourgeoisies. What about the small people that we talk about? The only time we will attain universal healthcare is if we are open enough to ensure that when we are building hospitals, it is not controlled by the Ministry of Health, but the function is devolved back to the county governments. Allow the county governments to build hospitals. I want the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance to tell National Treasury to find a framework to release the conditional grants, which they are holding even if Parliament has been unable to come up with a Bill. The court’s decision was for Parliament to come up with a process of disbursing the money. Let us follow the law. It was designed to help us remain in the course. No one is above the law in this country. With those few remarks, I reject it completely."
