    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me an opportunity to come and support this report. From the onset, I laud Sen. Ali Roba led committee for a job well done. For the longest time since he became Chairperson of this Committee, he has been a dedicated Chairperson. I usually meet him at the Liaison Committee. Based on what they have given us in the report, it tells you that they have done some commendable work. Article 96 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, one of our very major roles, and this is what we have been speaking about since morning, is to ensure that we protect counties and push as much resources as we can to the devolved units. So, I am in support of the proposal of the Committee to send the Kshs415 billion up from the current Kshs384 billion. This will be a significant addition, which is also commensurate to transfer of services that we have been speaking about. It is in the proposals and recommendations that have been made by the Committee. It puzzles me that the CRA, this time proposed a lower allocation to the county governments than they had the previous financial year. I do not understand the logic and the science. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services, Senate."
