    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, that is also another gap that many people are willing to prey on. Most of the vehicles that were given to county governments by the Transition Authority (TA) have disappeared. The land that belonged to defunct local authorises has disappeared and changed hands. I have seen in this BPS that there is no allocation to the NMS. I am glad that the Government has come to the realisation that the NMS cannot be a permanent entity. I am alive to the revelation by Sen. Cheruiyot that there seem to be an agreement where NMS will be dealing directly with Nairobi City County without the involvement of Parliament. If they want to do that they know what they need to do. Let them make NMS a county parastatal or a county entity. In that case then, they can deal. However, there is no way the national Government will be handing money over to county governments without coming through Parliament and going through the county assembly. Mr. Speaker Sir, I support the recommendations and an increased allocation to counties. This is because that is the best venue to spur an improvement in the lives of our people through proper provision of health care. However, to our governors, we cannot only be good when you need more money and bad when we are asking for accountability. Let us robustly advocate for more resources."
