    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Motion on the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill. County governments play a key role in stimulating the economy of this country. The national Government should not be the one putting on hold the services that are required by county governments. Since the Senate has already passed this Bill to us, the honourable thing we can do is to pass it. One of our MPs who have spoken before mentioned about the resources being allocated or released to all the counties at once. For me, I strongly believe that the Governors who have not accepted the leadership of Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta should go public and accept that the duly elected President of this country is Uhuru Kenyatta then they will be given the allocation. Before they do that, I do not see any reason they can be given the allocation to the counties. The people have spoken and have elected Uhuru with a majority of votes. So, if Governors have not accepted that Uhuru is the President, there is need for them to seek funds elsewhere. I stand to support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
