    "content": "jurisdiction. Yet when you see what the counties have been allocated under conditional grants for roads, you get the feeling that there is something that is not proper. We must interrogate the amount of money that remains at the national Government. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will bring an amendment as we look at the next County Allocation of Revenue Bill. There are certain functions such as transport, infrastructure and inland water transport that need to be looked into. A county like Homa Bay has got a challenge of setting up piers, ports and harbors on Lake Victoria yet there is no special allocation to take care of the special circumstances. We need to look at these things in future. I would like to invoke the scriptures by talking about Mathew 25:14 which is about the story of a rich man who went on a journey. The Bible was set at a time when things were good. If the Bible was written today, there would have been three categories of workers. There would be the worker who buried his treasure and the one who multiplied his treasure. However, there would also be the worker who looted 20 per cent of the treasure and gave the boss 80 per cent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the governors were there when the Bible was being written, maybe, we would have been told about the worker who was given talents, squandered 20 per cent and when the rich man came, he gave him back 80 per cent saying that is what is due to him. That is the situation we are seeing in the counties. I hope that the Kshs300 billion will not result into 30 billionaires who take up 10 per cent of the funds. I beg to support."
