    "content": "Some development which is supposed to have been done by some county governments has not been done. An example is the building of Early Childhood Development (ECD) classrooms, which have not been set up in some places. There is the case that the Senator for Kakamega County was talking about, where in some health centres, patients share beds while others lie on the floor. Mark you, this is in a county that collects revenue and where people are keen in serving and delivering to Kenyans. That should not arise, because the money collected can be used for that purpose. County governments are allowed to devise strategies of ensuring that they add to their revenue collection. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also support the collaboration of the county treasuries, the KRA and the national Treasury on the revenue collecting system. There is need for a collaborated effort which will ensure accountability and that the books are okay. Anyone looking at the work will see where the resources came from, and what has been done with them. The Bill is just seeking to ensure that there is transparency in the money collected from the counties such that even when the county government is reporting, it can report on money that has been used and that which has not been used."
