    "content": "those regional authorities must be reformed in accordance with this Bill. We will bring more amendments to ensure that all stakeholders, including county governments, are brought on board. We are aiming to align specific regional authorities with economic blocks, which has been a challenge for our county governors in the past. There is a need to realign economic blocks together so that we can have economically viable and revenue-generative entities in our country. Moreover, auditing the regional authorities is crucial. Today, while dealing with a financial matter, we discovered that some entities receive significant revenue but are not under the purview of the Controller of Budget. This situation is a recipe for corruption as it allows individuals to misuse resources that Kenyans work hard to earn. This Bill is a game-changer in developing areas that have always been vulnerable to droughts, floods, banditry and in areas where fishing and sugar-cane farming are practised. By the end, we can elevate the rest of the country to a level where we can proudly say that Kenya is prosperous. Therefore, I support this Bill with the necessary amendments. Let us have a unified country. Let us also reduce the non-profitable suckers that are consuming taxpayer's money. We need to reduce wastage by becoming economical. If we do this, we will change our country. With that, I support."
