    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. As I make my contribution, I want to bring to the attention of the Members that, indeed, this Bill is long overdue. As a matter of fact, there is a lot of suffering in the counties. This is the only way money can go to the lower levels, especially now that the national Government has not been spending money on the lower levels. There is also the NG- CDF money which usually cushions the communities down where we come from, and the county money as well. I think it is important we pass this Bill. I am aware there are contractors whose assets have been sold off by banks. Others have gone bankrupt. I think it is a serious matter that we must, indeed, pass it as a Bill. However, I want to refer Members to the table. I just want to ask this question; and my friend from Meru County, I beg your pardon because I see Meru County alone taking so much money from the allocation. For example from column A, Meru has got Kshs7 million compared to all these other counties where they are getting Kshs88,000. When you go to column D, you still find that Meru is getting Kshs3.92 billion as compared to other countries that are beneficiaries of column B 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."
