    "content": "What is happening in our country is that, indeed, Kenyans are taxed heavily. The money is being collected and going to the national Government and county governments. However, when you look at whether there has been any effective utilization of these funds, you find that it is only a few counties that have success stories. I would like to especially congratulate the Governor of Murang’a. I do not know whether he is doing well because he was in the National Assembly and was in the Senate. After that, Govenror Kang’ata has done very well. His Own Source Revenue in one year has increased from Kshs200 million to about Kshs1.6 billion. Madam Temporary Chairperson, I found out why the young man is doing well. He has got wise people. He has got very successful professional people from Murang’a who he has put in his team known as the Team of Advisors on Economic and Political Development of Murang’a. The problem that some of us are facing, is that some of our counties have got challenges. I have been saying this and I say it with a lot of humility, that my County of Kisii has been receiving money from the Exchequer but the Governor has been telling the voters that the Government never sends any money. Kisii County last year received about Kshs12.6 billion and this year they are going to receive nearly the same amount of money."
