    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Samuel Atandi for being elected the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The Division of Revenue Bill is an important document to the people of Kenya, the national Government and counties. In this Bill, there is an increase of Ksh17.6 billion from last year. That money will be important to counties because it will benefit them. I echo the sentiments of Members who have supported this Bill. Hon. Temporary Speaker, 34 counties will share the Equalisation Fund, but the most important aspect is the fact that the funds will be utilised for the intended projects. Although my constituency has been allocated money through the Equalisation Fund, it is very hard to see what projects have been done. I support this Bill and I know that the Fund will do better with those Governors who utilise it. Thank you."
