    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.3 of 2019) be read a Second Time. Madam Temporary Speaker, Article 202 of the Constitution is very clear about the resources available to counties and the national level. For a long time, we know that development, especially within counties, has been hinged on the revenue coming. We have had the debate over time when we do the Division of Revenue Bill and, indeed, division within counties. Many counties feel that the allocation they have been given within counties is insufficient for development. From the various discussions that have taken place, we know that the development agenda in many counties has suffered tremendously. Part of the reason has to do with many other things, including accountability, corruption, the number of human resources and the attendant huge wage bill. However, the counties’ agenda still remains. All counties have a County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) that is hinged on development. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
