    "content": "Many times, we found out that those projects were specifically positioned in certain counties with no regards to any scientific evidence or framework of where to follow. In fact, the easiest way for them was to say that they want to pilot a particular project. You would realise that the piloting phase was always done in particular counties. There are counties which stood no chance, especially those that come from regions that were considered to be politically incorrect at the time. We sat down as a Committee and said that we have derelict our duty, we have checked out on the people that sent us to Parliament and that is why these things are happening. So, from around 2020 or 2021, we said that even additional allocation to county governments must pass through a particular framework. That is a basis upon which you have this County Governments Additional Allocations (No.2) Bill (Senate Bills No.8 of 2025). The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
