    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to reject in totality the Division of Revenue Bill that has come from the Senate. Firstly, I want to correct Hon. Junet. He has said that he does not have to work to be elected in his constituency. He just has to say the name of a person I do not want to mention. The Constitution of Kenya says that we should give 15 per cent of revenue to the county governments. We have increased from Ksh375 billion last year to Ksh391 billion this year. Many people will agree with me that the money that goes to the counties is invisible compared to any other resources that come through the NGAAF, NG-CDF and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). It is unfair to continue increasing the money without seeing results. We need to encourage conditional grants to county governments more than giving them a budget line that goes to their pockets, salaries, remuneration and entertainment for our governors. We need to empower the NG-CDF and other funds. In the name of devolution, we have created demi gods and people who enrich themselves without thinking of our people who require resources and work to be done."
