    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We appreciate what the Budget and Appropriations Committee has done. We now encourage county governments to make sure that these resources are distributed equally to all the constituencies or wards in every county. We need to encourage county governments to prioritise the needs of the counties. We should use our money in a way from which we can see the impact. We need to improve the lives of our people. We need to make sure that our people get services and development. We want to make sure that this money has gone to do a good job. I also want to encourage county governments to balance between paying debts and undertaking development projects. Some counties have huge debts and whenever they receive this money, they use all of it to pay the debts, which is not good. We want county governments to balance between paying debts and allocating money for development. Finally, we want county governments to streamline the ways of raising or collecting revenue so that revenue from the locals can complement the budget within the county. By doing so, we will have done the best to help the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to collect revenue. With those remarks, I support.
