    "content": "Sometimes you might find that a county is able to finance itself without going to the debt market like Laikipia has proposed. If we optimize our own source-revenue collection; If we incentivized our people so that they can be more productive, then our counties would be able to collect more and they will be using those collections to do infrastructure rather than going to the markets for instruments similar to this. We should also cut down on corruption in counties. I hope that the Committee on Finance and Budget will look on some of these issues. These include, the own source potential, the implication of corruption on county resources and also the reports of the Auditor General on how these counties have utilized the resources the Senate has to them in the past. Finally, Madam Deputy Speaker, considering that will be going sine die in the next four or five sittings, it will be useful for us to understand what happens if the Finance Committee is not able to report back to the House in good time. Does it mean that the request then dies a natural death, which then will need to start from square one once the House is convened? Maybe that will be useful so that we know those who will be coming back to this House whether this one will be one of the first issues to prioritize when the House resumes. I thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
