    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to also put in my word of supporting this particular Bill. As per Article 218, there is a requirement of this House that we pass this Bill. Indeed, it has been as a result of a lot of work from the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There are a number of very important issues as has been stated by the Mover, who is also the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee. Indeed, as years go by, we are increasing the allocations that we are giving to the counties. Right now, we have allocated Kshs283.7 billion to the counties being an increment of Kshs43.3billion over and above what we gave them the last financial year. Indeed, the hope of Kenyans lies in the devolution process. This House has conducted various public hearings in very many counties. We have also received advice from various stakeholders. In that regard, we have been able to make decisions in favour of supporting the wishes of Kenyans that we avail more resources to the counties."
