    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill for the simple reason that our counties need money so that they can discharge their devolved functions. I, first, register my protestations that the Kshs385.425 billion we are sharing today is not what we intended to send to counties. The figure of Kshs405 billion we had initially proposed was inadequate but it is unfortunate that we, the honorable Senators and protectors of devolution, contributed in reducing the allocation to counties. I also bring to the attention of this House the fact that our counties are really suffering from late disbursement of money from the National Treasury. As I speak, in my County of Nyamira, the accounts of the executive have been attached by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) because of late disbursements of Pay As You Earn (PAYE). Madam Temporary Speaker, I respect the former Governor of Mandera, Sen. Ali Roba but he knows that one cannot disburse PAYE before paying employees."
