    "content": "as well. If you ask Senators here, in most of the counties where these projects have been launched, you will find that either, counties do not have the money, they have not put the money or the national Government has not put in the money. There is a second programme from the national Government that has been very successful on the Community Health Promoters (CHPs), and we all know that we dealt with this Bill when we were in Turkana. However, as the Senators who are here will confirm, the only stipend CHPs have received are the monies from the national Government because the county governments have not put enough money or they have not been able to match what has been brought by the national Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is high time that the IGRTC, the Council of Governors (CoG) and all the bodies that are between the national Government and the county governments, including this Senate to try and pronounce themselves. This is because, if the money is there in the national Government for CHPs, why should we not follow the matching money from the county governments? I do not intend to say more than that money, but I feel that if we are not able to complete these county headquarters in this Financial Year 2024/2025, we shall have done a disservice to our people. Our people will not have gotten the utility that we want them to get. It is not fair in some of the counties where county governors continue to hire offices to operate from. I know in the case of Nyandarua, there are still offices that are still hired out. We must be able to finish these county headquarters, so that the governors can get places to work from and so that our counties can move forward. I support."
