    "content": "money to pay salaries. Now, the county governments do not have this facility and it is unlikely that they will have it. So, as we implement devolution, it is important to know; in circumstances where county governments find that they are cash strapped in terms of cash flow, how will they survive? It is important that whatever funds are allocated are disbursed as early as possible without failure by the Treasury to the county governments to enable them continue, otherwise borrowing will become a necessity at that level. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support the funding of county governments to the level that was recommended by the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) because in other countries which have devolution, the allocation is much more. A case like Germany funds to the level of 60 per cent to their devolved governments; the national Government retains only 40 per cent. So, I think that 40 per cent will not be too high a figure to ask for the county governments. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
