    "content": "This is not all that is going to our county governments. Also, there are a number of conditional grants which were there in the previous Bill. Conditional grants to all levels of hospitals is about Kshs4.3 million and for the construction of county headquarters in Nyandarua; Tharaka Nithi and one other county; Kshs485 million. There is a further Kshs900 million as compensation for user fees foregone in the health sector. Fuel levy is a figure of Kshs8.934 billion. There is a further Kshs2 billion, a conditional grant towards development of youth polytechnics and for leasing of medical equipment, Kshs6.2 billion. Put together, all these figures are monies that are going to our county governments. Therefore, those who have been saying that the National Assembly does not support devolution, I think these figures speak louder than words. The amounts that we are apportioning to our county governments is even an improvement from the Kshs310 billion that we had given before. It is important to point out that as we went to mediation, the figure that we floated during mediation was Kshs316 billion. This is now half a billion shillings more than what had been proposed in the mediation."
