    "content": "example, Nyandarua County, which neighbours Nyeri County, is very good in milk and potato production. Nyeri County, on the other side, specializes in onion production, coffee, tea, and other commodities such as bananas, not found in Nyandarua Couny. If we had better infrastructure linking these counties and enhanced value addition, we could strengthen the entire supply chain. This would ensure that farmers and investors in these sectors maximize their returns. As we consider these efforts, we must also acknowledge that the world is increasingly becoming a global village. It is therefore very important that we position ourselves strategically. This cannot be achieved if counties receive insufficient or barely adequate resources to sustain themselves. As I conclude, I commend the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget for a job well done. I wish that amendments can be introduced to ensure more resources are allocated. As we do that, this must be a concerted effort by every Senator in this House. We must lobby and engage the necessary stakeholders to ensure further unbundling of functions and a more equitable horizontal distribution of resources that follow devolved functions. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion with amendments."
