    "content": "money, what happens? The law is very clear that they were supposed to be assisted in a few years and then handed over. So, how will they manage? These are questions that we need to ask ourselves; these are questions that Governors should also ask themselves. What happened to the local revenue that they used to collect during the time of the local authorities? How come a county that used to even collect Kshs1 billion is now getting below Kshs300 million? These are very serious questions that we need to ask ourselves. Is it that the cartels took advantage? Is it that the Governor is not in control of his county; that he cannot know exactly how revenue is getting lost? Therefore, for the Governors to come and start accusing everyone at the national Government, I think the best they can do first is to ask themselves “how much have I put on the table from my local revenue before I ask the national Government for money?” Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to support and I believe we will bring amendments to ensure that we have a 40:60 recurrent to development ratio. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to support."
