    "content": "In the Fourth Schedule, the national Government is enhancing expenditures on devolved functions which are converted to additional conditional grants to county governments. This will happen in the financial year 2023/2024. I am happy that Bomet County Government is getting an additional Kshs57,294,000. In total, this Bill gives an additional Kshs782 million to Bomet County. As such, services that would not have been provided, will now be funded to ensure the people are well served. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the annexures provided in this Bill give a detailed breakdown of how county governments, county treasuries and relevant officers within the county government are expected to ensure that this resource is appropriately utilized for the people of a particular county. I look forward to ensuring that when these resources are released from the national Government to county coffers, our county governments will serve people and utilize resources so that service delivery to the people can be felt at the county level. This is a crucial Bill and I appreciate the Majority Whip for fast tracking because of the importance it has for this House and the county governments who represent a majority of Kenyans. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and I support the Bill and for this opportunity. I also hope that Sen. Wambua can say something for the remaining minutes."
