    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of the policy considerations that have been made, include the need to make allocations to counties stable and predictable. That is why once the costing issue is resolved, counties will be in a position to know predictably how much they can expect each year. I want to agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and other Members who feel that this exercise should be completed. However, I still stand by my remarks. I thank you Sen. Billow for that intervention. It is true; it is the work of the TA. The funding problems are of Parliament and not of other people as Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had wanted to suggest. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, other than stability and predictability of allocations, there is also need to ensure that the issue of observing fiscal austerity and budgetary constraints is taken into account. I am saying this because I do not think there will be a time when either the national government or county governments will get enough money.
