This is not the first time we are making our comments on this matter. We have raised them before under the KDSP I which was done in the last Parliament. We raised the same comments. It is also not the first time that I am saying this in the Senate, yet people do not seem to be listening. It seems like they have chosen not to listen. One of the things that we also need to consider and perhaps think critically about, is the way counties can raise their own revenues and how we can capacitate them to cease this overreliance on funds and resources from the national Government. The reason why our county governments continue to be crippled and hung down on operations is due to this overreliance on resources from the national Government. This normally happens yet we know that, if they collect their revenues properly and it is put to prudent use, it can keep our counties operational and functional even in times of difficulties as it is being experienced right now. As we go to the point of discussing and deliberating on the Third Generation Formula, we must put an index of how counties that generate more revenue can continue to benefit more and those that do not work hard do not enjoy from the sweat of others. We must think about this issue critically as the Senate so that we encourage good practices. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, I beg to support."
