    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to comment on the statements made by colleagues. I wish to comment on the Statement made by the Senator for Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, regarding revenue generation and usage. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement. I wish the Committee concerned would look at the amount of revenue that all the 47 counties generate and how they are utilising that revenue. Most of this revenue that is generated by county governments is misused. In fact, in most cases, this money is spent at source which is against the law. I think the Committee on Finance and Budget should take their time to thoroughly investigate this revenue issue. It beats logic that the old local authorities used to generate more money than our current county governments. County governments are more capacitated and resourced compared to the old local authorities. Something is not right. This House has the responsibility to find out where the problem is. 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 and AudioServices, Senate."
