    "content": "particularly, the Local Authority Transfer Funds (LATF) money that was given to the local authorities. The LAFT money preceded the CDF and today, wherever you go in this country, you can touch, feel and even see with your eyes what the CDF has been used to do in terms of education, water, roads and schools, among others. As a Senate, under the Constitution, we have a mandate--- If you open any page of the Constitution you will see it alluding to the responsibility of the Senate as to protect, help and assist the county governments so as to raise enough money to undertake whatever is expected of them. We are appealing to the Government by saying that we cannot lie low with regard to this matter. We cannot watch devolved governments being strangled right from the beginning. The Government must find ways of dealing with the loans. My brother, the Mover of the Motion, said that besides them not being given enough money, they are being told to pay loans. Besides that, many staff members of the local authorities are being pushed to the county governments. This means that owing to the money they earn, they will continue to do the same things they have been doing by paying salaries and pensions of those who are being imposed on them. I want to support this Motion."
