    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I thank all the Members for their contribution to this Bill. We have taken a lot of time to evaluate the performance of our counties. As I said when I was moving, many structural issues need to be done to continue strengthening our counties. Like on issues of pending bills, there is a reason it is never found in the NG-CDF. It is because the NG-CDF structure does not allow any kind of pending bills. Progressively, we hope we will have that kind of strength within the structures of devolution. Lastly and on a light note, I have listened to my sister Ruth, about tear gas. I confirm to this House that we have no allocation in the Supplementary Budget, the BPS, and in what we are considering. Fortunately, we have gone round the country, and we have seen that Kenyan people are peaceful. We were not able to make provisions on that kind of wastage of tear gas. Therefore, the only tear gas available currently is the tear gas we made in 2007, 2013 and the one that remained in 2017. Checking on the expiry dates, some of them could be stale. Therefore, as the people demonstrate, they could be endangering themselves by coming to inhale expired tear gas. That is not very proper. However, if Hon. Ruth’s request permits, if this House deems it possible, we can allocate money for tear gas so that we can satisfy Hon. Ruth Odinga. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I reply."
