    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I congratulate the team. This formula was protractedly negotiated. It is good and in force. I urge Hon. Members to support it. I want to emphasise one thing on the counties because we are having many problems in constituencies, especially in the healthcare system. They do not pay their fair share of supplies from the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). KEMSA is on the verge of holding their distributions because of that. There are no medicines in health facilities such as Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hospitals. I would like to ask the incoming Senate to up their game in their fiduciary responsibility to county governments because household economies also depend on the money that we move from the National Treasury, through this Authority, to the counties. They should be transparent and the handover should be smooth, so that this money reaches the households. After the COVID-19 pandemic, household economies have been ravaged and people are suffering. I support this Bill and urge counties to up their game."
