    "content": "the counties, it is known that it is going to particular areas — education, infrastructure, roads, and health. We need to be specific about where this money is going. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we also need to address the issue of corruption. We need to know how much money has gone there before we ask for more. Of course, we need to ask for more money, but how has the money disbursed a while ago been spent in these counties? Therefore, I want us to address the issue of wastage. It is a major problem that needs to be addressed. We also need to ask ourselves what the problem is with disbursement. Once Parliament has approved money for the counties, what happens to the National Treasury? Can we now address this issue of non-disbursement so that we can establish the problem? This House is the final authority to appropriate and disburse money, but there is a problem of bureaucracy that must be addressed. The money which this House has appropriated should be released without any delay. That will address that issue. Again, we must admit that we have had problems with disbursement and inadequate funds. How do we address the issue of the youth disparities in these counties? This country belongs to all of us and must be developed in equal measure for our people to be at par in terms of development. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Bill. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committees for a job well done. We need to see this money going to the people. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
