    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to support this Motion on the Adoption of the Report on the Approval of the County Government Fund. I only have two points to make because we have heard much from my colleagues. It is important that these funds are disbursed within the period that we are here or the coming government. It is important that these funds are used for their intended purpose. We have discovered that many county governments are misusing these conditional grants. I am urging that the current Government and the incoming Government to utilize the funds appropriately. We have seen funds being reallocated for other uses, personal use or money being misused. When these grants are being committed to our government, it is government money meant for Kenyans and not for personal gain. We have seen county governments colluding with the accounts departments of their own governments to misuse this money or reallocate it for personal use. As my colleagues have said, some are even using this money to finance their personal tours. We want this money to be used for the intended purpose. Senate is here because it wants development to be done in the county government."
