    "content": "it is important for this nation because his Committee interrogated the national Treasury. The fact that the national Treasury was interrogated is something very important. It was able to appear before the Committee and they gave valid information about the amount of money disbursed to the counties. That is very important for this country so that we get to know how much money the national Treasury disbursed for the year 2017/2018. It is also important for them to know that this money was disbursed on 30th June. It was a commendable act for this interrogation to be done because even the national Treasury gets to know that Parliament is hawk-eyed and watchful to see that money is disbursed to the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, why are we keen about money being disbursed to the counties? It is because we want that money to work for the citizens in all the counties. This is because power has been devolved. We have the national Government and the county governments. The county governments need to serve the people of this country. When money is disbursed to the counties,it is possible for the county governments to ensure that there is development in the counties. We do not want people to leave the counties and come to towns to look for jobs. There is need for development, health facilities, churches to be built and creation of employment opportunities. At the end of the day, we want to attain the Big Four Agenda in this nation. There is no way we can attain the Big Four Agenda without money being disbursed to the counties. It is a commendable thing for the Committee to have interrogated the national Treasury and for the national Treasury to have availed the valued information about the money that was disbursed to the counties.I want to support and commend the Committee for this powerful investigation that they did. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to comment on this Statement."
