    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is exciting because this Bill is a product of tough negotiations led by Sen. Kibiru to have additional allocations and conditional allocations set aside in a separate Bill, so that we can follow up and track how they are being spent in the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I feel excited because you and I have been prayerful. If elected governors, we are going to be the managers of the resources that are currently being discussed and the ones that have previously been passed. We fought hard for this legislation. The beauty about it is the way we are moving it. It will give the Senate an entry point. The Senate will have a role in terms of oversight when money is expended. More importantly for us and those who will take the leap of faith of becoming county executives, this is a good framework for understanding the allocations we get from the national Government and the specifications thereof and the grants we get from donors. The Council of Governors (CoG) must have a foot in the discussion on grants that are given by our partners, what they are meant for and the priorities. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
