    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Senator for the great people of Kitui County, I am very happy that today we are okaying disbursement of an additional of Kshs600 million to Kitui County. Another Kshs150 million from the national Government and slightly over Kshs500 million from development partners. It should be noted that we shall follow up on the expenditure of this money to ensure that this money is used for the intended purposes. Secondly, I take this opportunity to caution my colleagues. Yes, today we are dealing with the Grants Bill. Once bitten twice shy. We stood our ground from the day before yesterday up to today and we are seeing good results. We should not relent. We should ensure that we pass this Grants Bill and wait for the National Assembly to pass it and then on Tuesday, we can pass the Division of Revenue Bill. We cannot be short- changed any further. When the Senate stands together on issues of revenue and funds to counties, good things happen to our counties. On this one, I urge my colleagues to pass this Grants Bill with celebration and wait for the National Assembly to pass it."
