    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, because I have seen that my time is far spent, I am happy Nandi County is getting Kshs7.3 billion. However, I am sad that the money will not translate value to the people of Nandi. Even with Kshs1.2 billion for June and August, there is nothing happening on the ground. The national Government gave us coolers to store our milk but up to now, those coolers have not got a proper housing where farmers can take milk. The issue of reducing fertilizer price from Kshs3500 to Kshs200 by the President is welcomed but it is a national Government project. I ask the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries led by Sen. Murango - where is the role of the Senate? Governors will be quick to go on the ground to say tumewaletea mbolea but what will a Senator say? I ask the Committee on Agriculture to engage the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries by ensuring that Senators are part of it because this is a national Government budget. Can you believe it that the only role the county Government provides is logistics? However, the budget is financed by the national Government through payment of Kshs2500? I ask the Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to please assist us so that Wananchi--- Sen. Eddie, you know all politics is local. The governors would go say that they have brought fertilizer. Someone else would ask what the Senator and Member of National Assembly have brought. Therefore, we must be honest with ourselves. I thank this Committee for the Cash Disbursement Schedule. I hope this money will meet disbursed on time and used prudently. We increased money that went to the counties. It was Kshs370 billion in the last financial year and now it is Kshs385.3 billion, which is an addition of Kshs15 billion. I thank President William Ruto. I congratulate and wish the Committee well as they proceed and ensure that this money is disbursed. I hope by next week; we shall pass this Cash Disbursement Schedule so that wananchi will be able to get opportunity for this service delivery. With those remarks, I beg to support."
