    "content": "member shall maintain comprehensive and accurate records of all the programmes in a particular county. That will be applicable to all projects under their docket. Therefore, it is important that we move the agenda of this Bill forward. If there is anything to be added to improve it, we are ready for that. As I said, we will bring our report proposing some amendments but I think this is a good Bill. Ideally, maybe counties should have conceptualized the concept of devolution but that did not and is not happening but this Bill will not do any harm. It will only improve the way things are done there. What this Bill seeks to achieve is to make things different from the original Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and the current National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) where the Executive was in charge of project identification and implementation. Respective MCAs will identify projects, of course through public participation, but implementation will be done by the county executives. A county assembly will either approve or reject the criteria used for selection of projects and oversight because nothing prevents them from oversighting. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Members for their support. Everybody has supported this Bill and the reservations expressed by one or two Senators have been taken in good faith. We expect them to come out and give us specific proposals for amendments before we finalise on this Bill. With those many remarks, Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply."
