"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We have already looked into the Budget Policy Statement.We looked into all the areas that needed extra allocation. Therefore, the Senate is just playing a public relations exercise. If you go to our counties today, you cannot see any development on the ground in relation to the functions the county governments were given. Therefore, giving them more monies without this strong oversight from the Senate is actually devolving corruption more. All we are seeing in the counties are some people being transported in very heavy vehicles from the county headquarters to their homes. You only see County Executive Officers driving from one corner of the county to another. You only hear people going for seminars from Monday to Friday, but you cannot see actual development on the ground!"
