    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute. This is a very important Bill and that is why I was very anxious to contribute. This is a day that we are deciding how much money goes to the counties and how much remains in the national Government. It is our duty to protect and defend our counties. I want to thank the Committee for recommending that we increase the funds to the counties. I also want to congratulate the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for doing a good job. I also want to question the ability of those who are dealing with audit because they have denied counties the resources. When we get reports from the Director of Budget on the performance of counties on revenue, it is worrying. I would urge the same Committee to look at what is ailing the counties in terms of revenue collection. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the proposal to increase funds for salaries, emergencies and Level 5 hospitals. But I want to caution and request my colleagues that the savings or areas to be reduced should not be as suggested. It has been suggested that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
