    "content": "healthcare for devolved systems; International Development Association (IDA); National Agricultural and Rural Inclusive Growth (NARIG) Project, Kshs2.9 billion; European Union’s (EU) Instruments for Devolution Advice and Support (IDEAS), Kshs1.1 billion; Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture (KCSA) project, Kshs3 billion; World Bank Kenya Urban Support Program (KUSA), Kshs11 billion and Water and Sanitation Development Project (WSDP), Kshs3.8 billion. Madam Temporary Speaker, the total amount of money that is going to the counties under this Bill is Kshs372, 741, 930,770. This is not little resources. It is about 39.8 per cent of the total resources that are being raised nationally. This is an important Bill and I urge my colleagues that we pass it on time. It will be good for our counties. Last time there was a lot of delay, but this year it seems that the Bill is moving progressively. It has been tabled at the right time. Hopefully, if it will be passed in good time then it will facilitate the budgeting at the national and county levels, so that we can come back here and deal with the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. We would have wished to give our counties more money. I hope that even the amount we have given, we will meet the target at Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and in economic growth as a country that will facilitate even the Kshs 314 billion under the Division of Revenue and other grants to get to the counties. If the Kshs372 billion will get to the counties, it will make a big difference in various parts of this country and this nation will never be the same again. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move and request that the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud to second. Thank you."
