    "content": "We will also ask hon. Members in the “Lower House” to submit theirs too. I saw some of them competing. They came up with proposals which did not come to fruition. If anybody has a proposal we can look at it. There was an attempt in this House to consider it too. This can also be looked at. We need to push it forward in the life of this Parliament. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, since we have six months to do so, we should be through by the end of this year. As we go for elections, we should be having a document that we will vote for possibly during the elections. We can also do it earlier. These issues will come up as we debate taking into account the recommendations of the Committee. It is essential that this is done. Last week, the Senate fulfilled all the necessary regulations and rules required in order to access the oversight fund that was rejected last year. We need this funding so that we can regulate how money for development is spent in the counties. However, we saw it live; our colleagues shot down the Bill last week. It was rejected. They said that money is not required. For this reason, we ask our colleagues to stand firm on this so that the oversight fund can be reconsidered in the next financial year. We are not doing it for ourselves. It is not our money. If oversight funds cannot be obtained through the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) as we have been, there is no harm at looking at the way we share funds for the counties. Normally, we even have money for conditional grants. There is a formula for this."
