    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also stand to support the approval of the Report on the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018/2019. As other hon. Members have indicated, the three Schedules have clearly indicated the equitable share disbursement, the disbursement for conditional allocation and the conditional allocations that are from projects and grants. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Constitution of Kenya 2010 was overwhelmingly voted for because of the Article on devolution. That is because Kenyans believed that this was the moment of change and that this was the way to capture that change. We have seen countries like America, for example, that have a system that is quite close to ours in terms of devolution. Their state level is more or less like our county levels; including what we have also seen in the systems of accountably and transparency. Without accountability and transparency, we are going to have the same resource pilferage that we are talking about. We are talking about a lot of money that is going to the counties. 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."
