    "content": "expenditure, service debts that were incurred by their former predecessors; the municipal councils. Migori County, which I represent, will receive slightly above Kshs4 billion. It is unfair that things have to be done this way. It is also unfair that this House was excluded in deciding how this distribution of resources was to be done. This should be checked in subsequent budgets where our own committee should be heavily involved in deciding not only in the distribution of this money, but also in the transfer and longitudinal division of the money to the counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am concerned with the extravagance that has been openly exhibited by the management of the county governments. We know that the infrastructure for the establishment of the county governments is yet to be done. But certain extravagances must be avoided so that most of this money is channeled directly to infrastructure development such as roads, hospitals, schools, et cetera, instead of using this money on lavish issues like transport. Some counties have allocated over Kshs60 million on transport for the governor. That will not be accepted by the Senate. We are watching. We will play our oversight role to make sure that counties spend this money properly."
