    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to contribute to this important debate on the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill. This Bill forms the basis of a good law in the making because it appears to be a redesign of the funding model for the counties and allocates additional funding to the county budgets. It is an assuring legislation because, ideally, it should give a lot of comfort to the funding and development partners. It is also a framework for accountability for any funding sources that are given to the counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have looked at the provisions of this Bill. In Clause 3 of this Bill, I see an open clause which talks about one of the objects being; “to provide for additional allocations from proceeds of loans and grants from development partners” I do not know the extent of the loans and grants provided for here but I see an opportunity for the proposer of this Bill to make sure that the clause is not open-ended, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
