    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second and make two comments. First, you can see that the amount of money we are sending to the counties, in a national budget of Kshs1.8 trillion is not commensurate with the devolved functions we have given the counties. This is the more reason why we should find ways and means of sending more money to the counties. Secondly, this money is going to the counties. Of late, we have seen and heard serious cases of mismanagement of funds. We want to urge the Committee of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and the entire team not to fall into the old trap of carrying out postmortems after money has been misused. They should be seized of the matter and make relevant interventions. This also includes the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. When you see some smoke from anywhere, it is absolutely necessary that we arrest any misuse of funds other than going to the old habits of auditing accounts two or three years later and crying wolf all the time when money has been misused."
