    "content": "Thank you, Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this important Bill. At the outset, in Kenya several years ago, we used to hear that projects could not be done and services could not be delivered because funds were not available. It used to be a common answer that they shall be done when funds are available. Now the funds are available and the services are not flowing. What is missing? Is it vision? Is it capacity? What is wrong? I think it is about time Kenyans stopped being suspicious of each other and engaged in service delivery at the county level. Many counties have engaged a defensive mood. They spend more time and resources defending themselves instead of delivering services. In this Bill we are seeking to increase the revenue that is going to the counties because we want to see increased services that are being enjoyed by the citizens. Therefore, I would like to request the Senators to work closely with the county governments playing the necessary oversight role so that county governments can deliver their mandate within a very efficient and effective system. Currently, our cost of delivering services is quite high. There is a lot of wastage The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
