    "content": "This is a Bill on the Government’s additional allocation to county governments. These are monies over and above the Ksh385 billion that we are allocating as equitable share. Why do we give additional allocations to counties? Part of the reason we give additional monies to counties is that they are segmented in various areas. First, there are foreign-funded programmes, which are especially domiciled in agriculture. I can see the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is here. If you look at that Bill, you will find that there are many loans, grants or foreign-funded programmes that go to counties because Kenya is largely an agricultural economy. These are monies that have to come to this House after emanating from the Senate, so that we give our final approval."
