    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Sen. Crystal Asige. She is one of the people who commented on my Bill. I had forgotten this in my earlier submission. Clause 16 talks of the functions of the county government. We hope that county governments will support safety measures. In my other life, I was a butcher. I used to sell meat and milk in Mosoriot at Kingsway Butchery near the stage as you go to Eldoret. The meat inspectors used to come to inspect and stamp it. We need to make sure these people are clean. The person who came to stamp the meat was looking dirtier that everything that was being approved. We need county governments to be keen. I want to alert the entire country. I know Sen. Mungatana has received the biggest version of floods in areas of Tana River County and the Northern parts of Kenya. This brings a likelihood of a breakout of water borne diseases. Food might also get contaminated. County governments have the unique role because they are the people in the mashinani and they can inspect it. I am happy that Sen. Olekina who is a friend of a friend has just walked in. He is one of the milk dealers. I was loyal client of Sen. Olekina for some time. He used to supply me with milk until he decided to disappear. The milk was good and he used to package and deliver it properly. I am happy that he was one of the milk manufacturers in this country. Clause 19 states that- “The Controller, in consultation with the competent authority shall advise where an overlap occurs in performance of their functions under their respective legislation” The El-Nino floods is an issue. Some of us know about County Allocation of Revenue Act and about the budgets. I saw your Governor yesterday delivering the state of the county address in Murang’a County. We need to agree as a country that in every budget a Governor does, there is a disaster and emergency fund. In fact, as a Senate, and my senior Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, we told them to enact the law that covers emergency and disaster fund. Even in their budget line, there are funds for emergency. Why are governors not using that? It was until the other day when the Deputy President spoke about it. They came guns blazing because they want to steal the way they did the COVID-19 funds. They want to use that as an excuse. Let them tell us, in their own budgets, where they have allocated the disaster and emergency funds. What have they done about it?"
