    "content": "Thank you. We have proposed to amend the BPS on two accounts:- (i) Our health workers in your counties through the Kenya Medical Dentist Practitioners Board (KMDPB) and the nurses have accumulated arears of Ksh11.6billion since 2013. That money has not been included in the BPS. We have proposed to amend this. (ii) The medical equipment sum of Kshs4.5billlion was to run for seven years. However, Treasury amended it to Kshs6.1billion in the 2016/2017 Financial Year. This was not in the County Division of Revenue Bill and a sum of Kshs9.4billion for the following year. We did not know where it came from. We have amended it for the benefit of the counties. Lastly, the Roads Bill is in the National Assembly for debate. They are proposing 20 per cent in the conditional grants. However, we are unable to give our counties 20 per cent to do their roads from Class D downwards because we do not have proper legislative framework. Could you get us that Bill so that we discuss and pass it?. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
