    "content": "Hon. Speaker, another parameter which has also been considered is the health status of counties. Resources given to counties are supposed to help in improving livelihoods, services and facilities. Some counties have refused to graduate in provision of health services even though health is devolved. They do not employ doctors or build health facilities. They want to use this parameter to continue earning more resources in the revenue sharing of resources among counties. The Budget and Appropriations Committee agrees with this formula and the way resources have been allocated to counties especially, now that 12 counties are being considered for special allocation. We realised that the 12 counties have been unable to undertake development projects because of their sizes and the resources they receive. Under the new formula, the 12 counties will receive a special allocation. In this formula, we have a sharable allocation of Ksh15 billion. This means that the 12 counties will get more resources for development; about Ksh4.46 billion to assist them initiate development programmes. This formula is very simple. I want to thank the Senate for coming up with it. It is a result of a very consultative process. This formula will ensure that counties which have not engaged properly in development programmes will now have an opportunity to do so."
