    "content": "money meant for water to go to Wajir, Garissa, Mandera, Turkana, Baringo or Pokot counties? Finally, I conclude by sounding out governors. Governors, especially the Governor of Kakamega, complained very loudly through some Senators here that we had not given them enough money. It is now one year down the line; show us what you use that money for. In Kakamega, we allowed them to have a budget of Kshs17 billion, and up to now, salaries are still in arrears and the money has gone there. Why? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in Kakamega, the ongoing projects that were started by Gov. Oparanya, have all stalled. Why is that so and the money has gone there? Committees of the County Assembly of Kakamega cannot perform because the Governor is not funding them. Pending bills in Kakamega remain unpaid, and we have sent this money. Why? The money for Pension Fund, National Social Security Fund (NSSF), and National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is not being remitted. If they had this budget of Kshs17 billion and they were not doing these things, why were they shouting that the money was not enough? They should have at least given us a report card saying that these things we have done and yet they have not been done. With those many remarks, I support this Bill with the main amendment that we amend it to Kshs415.9 billion. I thank you."
