Failure to pass this Bill represents a crippling of county budget implementation and an egregious impediment to the principles of devolution. For instance, it denies, just to mention a few counties: - (1) West Pokot County, where the Senate Majority Leader comes from – Kshs713.251 million. (2) Kisumu City – Kshs922.93 million. (3) Wajir County – where my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Abdullahi, comes from – Kshs1.313 billion. (4) Bungoma County, where the substantive Speaker comes from – Kshs696 million."}
