    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to also contribute on this. I want to reject the Report and thank the Committee for bringing this to the attention of the House. There would be a lot of money in the counties, if IT revenue systems were not being stolen. If the revenues that they are collecting are banked in the national Government account, they can help this country. But the staff in the counties are just stealing. I think devolution was meant to help governors steal from the people of Kenya, and that is what is happening. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we want the counties to work, not pick the little money that is allocated to constituencies. In the last few months, they looked for Ksh2 million sports money that was with the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). They are now looking for money from KeRRA for the roads that Members maintain. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is the time for us to come together and decide, just as the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has suggested. We cannot continue like this and yet, the governors are hiding money instead of helping the national Government."
