    "content": "found ourselves in is that we are shouldering the work of other organs of Government. There is an organ of Government we call the (IBEC) which is chaired by the Deputy President. That is where the counties are represented. The governors and their CECs are sitting there. The Senate, the National Assembly and the Treasury are represented. How come they cannot resolve the issue of how much to give to counties? Why do they give this burden to Parliament to deal with? Some of these institutions are abdicating their responsibilities. There is also the Summit chaired by the President. In my view, it is late in the day to start amending how much should go to the counties. I can see this going to the mediation committee. As we go there, we need to agree with the Senate that Parliament should not be made to shoulder the burden of IBEC. The IBEC should perform its functions and conclude them effectively so that there is smooth running of the budgetary process. I support the Motion as amended. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
