    "content": "This Bill horizontally allocates money to our counties. The amount of money that we are giving our counties in the next financial year is Ksh385 billion. This is an enhancement from the last financial year, where we allocated about Ksh370 billion to our counties. This is because the President and this administration are focused on supporting devolution. Over and above the Ksh385 billion, we have also allocated an additional Ksh72 billion in conditional grants to our counties. Therefore, we have allocated enough resources to keep our counties going and to participate very well in terms of infrastructure-building and development of our communities. Some of the monies that we have allocated as conditional grants, which I will be tabling later, have been given to all 47 counties. This is because all of them, including Nairobi County, have an element of agriculture. We have allocated Ksh4.7 billion, or Ksh100 million for each county, as a matching fund, a shilling per shilling to build aggregation centres across all 47 counties."
