    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support this Motion. First of all, I wish to thank the governors who I know have started their plans and have integrated them. These are the Governors of Bungoma and Kakamega. They have involved most of the leaders, including political leaders. This is a good thing. I know that we also have counties that have not done so. We hope they will do so soon. Madam Temporary Speaker, you know very well that you cannot budget without a plan. You need a plan for you to budget. It has been very difficult for counties and that is why most of their budgets have a lot of errors. There should be understanding on how to budget for a bigger project and how to budget for a mid-term or short-term project. Some have ended up doing something like a Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) plan where you do a budget for classrooms, renovation of roads and so on. That is why we, as the Senate, are insisting that it is very important for counties to have a plan where they will give themselves a long-term strategic plan that will guide them in the next five years. 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."
