    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I will continue and still insist that if we are to get these counties that have not been performing to move forward and perform, these are some of the things that we must not do. We must not offload staff whose credibility is unknown to counties. But above all, where is the money to pay these staff going to come from, because, already, counties have taken over staff from the county authorities, that is, county councils and town councils within their areas of jurisdiction? Where is the money going to come from to pay all these staff? Why are the counties now being given additional staff from the central Government which they have not asked for? That will definitely bloat their payroll. All this money we are allocating here will end up paying salaries. You may say it is Kshs4 billion, but if it all goes to salaries, when are the people we represent in this Senate going to get the much needed services? This money is inadequate. We must ensure that we get more money to allocate our counties, so that they can provide services. We do not want all this money to remain in the national Government. We want monies to go to the county governments so that services can be rendered to members of the public. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
