We have a responsibility at the levels of the national and county governments to attend to this matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to sound caution to the resources flowing to the county governments. We expect transparency, accountability and a programme that clearly spells out how these resources have been allocated in various departments. Let the respective heads to departments or the County Executive Committee (CEC) members and their departments take full control and responsibility of these resources in accordance with the revenue allocation by the county governments through the county assemblies. The county assemblies should be in a position to monitor these resources so that when they finally come to us, it should be something that is refined. Finally, at the moment we are under conditional resource allocation based on the 2013/2014 audited accounts which is less than Kshs1 trillion. However, the budget is currently more than Kshs2.4trillion. I think that we must change during the second and third cycle so that the counties enjoy the necessary resources that are important to jumpstart their growth. I wish I had 20 minutes. I have had to cut short my contribution for the simple reason that this is a time-bound Bill. Thank you."
