    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill on allocation of monies to counties. As I support this Bill, we urge our counties, that the Senate having worked very hard to increase the allocation from the proposed Kshs391 to Kshs400 billion mark, expect our counties to be diligent in the utilisation of these resources. My own county of Uasin Gishu will have additional funds of over Kshs300 million. I expect that the County Government of Uasin Gishu will ensure that the VTCs that are on the verge of being closed, with only one out of 13 being functional will be restored and our young people will be able to get skills to work. As I also rise to support this Bill, as the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health, I urge our county governments to invest resources in health because this builds the foundation of every county. It would be sad to see a county like Isiolo continue without a morgue or working ambulances. It will be a disaster to see the city funeral home operating without a generator after all this allocation. I hope that Sen. Sifuna is listening. He should make sure that he tells his governor to expend these resources by getting a generator for the Nairobi Funeral Home, which he has not procured for the past two financial years. 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."
