    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also contribute to this Motion. It is very important that the Senate will adjourn for one week to participate in the Legislative Summit scheduled to take place in Mombasa. It is the first time some of us will be participating and it will give us the opportunity to interact with MCAs of this country. As the Chair of the Committee on Finance and Budget, we had the opportunity to interact with MCAs during the budget-making process. It is important to note that we listened to them and accommodated their views in terms of the ceilings that are put in the budget as far as the recurrent expenditure of the assemblies and the executives is concerned. Whereas the executives can get access to other funding in terms of recurrent expenditures, county assemblies normally do not get that. We found that what the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) proposed was not adequate. As I mentioned, we have further allocated Kshs1.7 billion for recurrent expenditure of the county assemblies taking into account the rents, salary increments 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"
