Cherarkey when he said that this is one of the Committees that has quite a number of Bills in the Senate. We are always proud to be able to execute our mandate as Senators in regards to what is entailed. I have totalled the grants as per the Bill and they are amounting to Kshs56 billion. Plus, the Kshs385 billion allocation for the year 2022/2023, we are looking at the next financial year at a total of about over Kshs440 billion allocation to the counties. This is additional. As the Senate, we pride in ensuring that we support devolution by ensuring counties are able to have more funding and receiving the same funds timeously. It is in that timely disbursement of the funds that the counties are able to execute their mandate and able to partake different roles.
