    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. I must say that they have done a good job on the Division of Revenue Bill, the County Revenue Allocation Bill and now on the Cash Disbursement Report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there was any notion that the Senate of the Republic of Kenya intended to allocate itself funds, this schedule proves otherwise. In fact, this Senate is approving the disbursement of cash schedules monthly including the Conditional Allocation of Kshs733 million and the Level 5 Hospital funding to counties. In doing so, Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this financial year, this Senate has fulfilled its mandate in full. This schedule could not have come at a better time when we have formed the county boards. Every Senator here should carry the schedule to the first meeting so that we tell the public that every month; their counties will be receiving certain funds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we do so, I propose that we should find a method of disseminating this information to our counties so that people whom we represent can be sure that, in fact, counties have funds allocated to them every month until the end of next year. When we hold governors to account, we will be using this schedule to tell the people we represent that money is available. Therefore, there is no excuse why counties should not have development and people should not lack medicine or other facilities in hospitals in the Republic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to second."
