    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Motion as moved by the Chair of the Committee. Before I second this Motion, one of the milestones of the last session was when we passed the Bill for additional allocation of revenue. I was pleased that during the recess to see His Excellency the President ascent it to law; something that is unprecedented. The Office of the Clerk will tell you that not many parliaments have been able to make law in the first session but we did. I, therefore, congratulate the President and all his colleagues the Members of Parliament (MP), the office of the Clerk and everybody else who made this industry to come to fruition. Why should I commend this? It is because this law has paved way for better delivery of health services across the 47 Counties. I am so glad that my County of Kakamega - thanks to this Bill - was able to access in excess of Kshs982 million. I congratulate the Governor of Kakamega County because I have seen that he has been moving around the sub counties trying to give out an additional supply of drugs. I urge him to give priority out of this particular vote. He should avoid the temptation of channeling this money to recurrent expenditure. He should ensure that this money is purely for development within the health sector. Allow me to quote in Kiswahili. Waswahili husema mgema akisifiwa pombe hulitia maji. Having congratulated the governor, he might be thinking he is doing very well on this particular allocation. I beg to differ. I would like him to desist from the temptation to give money"
