    "content": "reducing our expenditures rather than imagine that we can have a big budget that we cannot even fund on our own. The counties are supposed to be agents of greater development. However, nowadays, every story of pending bills is domiciled in the counties. Their wage bills balloon every now and then because of employees who are politically assimilated into the county governments. We have huge wage bills in the counties. Instead of endeavouring to reduce their wage bills, most counties have accommodated so many people and, for that reason, they want an increase in the revenue that has been allocated to them by the national Government. In its wisdom, this House, as per the recommendation by the Budget and Appropriations Committee, reduced the county allocation from Ksh400 billion to Ksh380 billion as a way of trying to live within our means. However, our colleagues in the Senate do not clearly understand that. With those remarks, I support the recommendation of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to reject the proposed amendments from the Senate."
