    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the County Government Additional Allocations Bill, 2023. Kiambu County is receiving an additional allocation of Kshs1.2 billion, which is 2 per cent of the whole additional allocation of Kshs56 billion that is going to all the counties. I am happy that the Senate is working hard to make sure that these monies are channelled to the counties that we represent. The Kenya Kwanza Administration gives out on a timely basis without being late, even for a day. Every 15th of every month, each county receives its share. I can give an example. On 15th July, Kiambu County received Kshs1 billion. On 15th August, it received Kshs978 million and on 15th September it received Kshs1 billion. Within the next 11 days, it received another Kshs978 million. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is what we had passed previously. However, today, we are coming to pass and approve this Bill to make sure that Kiambu gets an additional allocation of Kshs1.2 billion. Now that Senate has done its part by making sure that counties have gotten their monies, it needs to take this a notch higher. We cannot be working hard to send money to the counties, yet governors do not utilize those monies sent to their counties."
