There are some counties that have no infrastructure at all but we also know that many counties, if not all, would require some form of support to improve the infrastructure at the county headquarters. So, the good thing that the report of this Committee has done is to categorize the needs so that progressively, each county, hopefully in the long term can be assisted. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to note the five most needy counties, namely; Tharaka-Nithi, Nyandarua, Tana River, Lamu and Isiolo; there is consensus even among other Government agencies like the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and even the National Treasury that these ones require urgent attention. We hope that through this budget, now that the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) will be tabled next week, both Houses will agree that these counties receive Kshs800 million each so that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
