    "content": "If this is brought out to be a prominent role of the county government, a government that is close to the people, a government that is closer to the farmers; then I know that the cotton industry will thrive. I am excited because my region will grow it because that is a cotton-growing region. However, coming to this heavy role that the county government has been given in this Bill, it means that it has a lot of financial obligations on the county government, especially on agriculture. Not only limited to agriculture, we know that there are also other Ministries that the county governments are overseeing like health, roads and others. Madam Temporary Speaker, see the number of roles that are here like extension services would require finances to facilitate. Extension Officers will have to move to the fields regularly to monitor the different growth levels of even the cotton or the process of the cotton growing. That brings me to the pressure that the county governments have over finances. If we are going to have county governments that are going to run for four or five months without disbursement from the national Government, all these efforts we are making will face challenges."
