"content": "By agreeing with this formula from the Senate and by extension from the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), this means we have looked at how development can reach the ground. It will be a shame if this House appropriates funds and agrees with this formula and then the money ends up in people’s pockets. This is the most disgraceful thing that can happen. This is a good formula. We hope it will bring meaningful development in the counties. Each and every county will have money for development and not just for recurrent expenditure. Instead of using money for development, some county governments employ goons to move around from one constituency to another to intimidate Members of Parliament. I do not think that is the way we want to go as a country. I ask the Inspector- General (IG) of Police and the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Murkomen to rein in on the goons. We should not be a country of goons. This will mean we are deteriorating and going the Haiti way, where everybody has his own militia. That is not what we want. As the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we are happy with this formula. I hope the National Assembly will pass it."
