    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to congratulate the Committee which has done a tremendous job in preparing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills 2018 No.11 of 2018). Looking at the money that we are sending to our counties, you get the impression that it is meant to touch lives and impact on our people at the county level. However, it is a bit fortunate that four years down the line, ever since we started implementing some of the monies we are sending to specific projects in the counties, we are yet to see impact. If I begin from the health sector which has been on for four years, it is sad and regrettable that some of the counties have not effectively utilised the equipment that we are spending a lot of money on. Last time it was Kshs4.5 billion and now it has gone up to KShs9.4 billion. There are some counties that have never made use of that equipment; they are just gathering dust. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that our county governments will make use of the resources that are allocated to them to impact on the lives of our people. I am happy and 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"
