    "content": "Kshs2 million, Kshs3 million or Kshs1 million, which will not bring any impact in the county. This House, the Senate, should supervise, go through and look at how this money is being appropriated or subdivided within the sub-county or the Ward, so that we see impact at that level. It should not be left to governors to give directions on how the fund is used. Sometimes they allocate the money in such small amounts that we are unable to realise its impact. We want to put in more effort to address gaps and avoid future pending bills arising from these funds. Stronger restrictions should be included in the Bill that appropriates this funds. Regulations that control this Bill should be put in place to close the gap in its implementation. I believe wards like Kimana, which have not received appropriations and those in Kajiado North like Ildamat, Kajiado South, Kajiado Central, should be considered, especially for services like electricity and other essential needs. There is also a ward like Imaroro in Kajiado East. These are the issues the Senate must follow up on to ensure that counties which have benefited also realise the impact of this funding at the sub-county level, including wards facing marginalisation. Madam Temporary Speaker, I submit and support this Bill."
