    "content": "Most development partners had become worried because the money had been locked. Many programmes and activities that were being undertaken in counties had stalled. I am talking about programmes such as the National Agricultural and Rural Inclusive Project (NARIP), the Agriculture Sector Development Support Programme (ASDSP) and other support provided. Support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and many other agencies were in limbo. Activities such as construction of footpaths and improvement of informal settlements had also stalled. I am happy that with a stroke of a pen, this County Grants Act has been passed. Our counties will allow this money to change the lives of our people in this Financial Year. This is the ultimate goal. It is the reason we are here in the Senate. Our main aim is to ensure that the money goes to address the needs we are talking about. Such needs include bursaries, roads construction and agriculture improvement, especially in my County of Nandi, where we have challenges. We need to ensure value addition to milk, maize and many other food items. I thank the Committee for that elaborate Statement. I hope the next generation of governors will utilise this law to the advantage of our people."
