    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Procedural Motion. It is true that today being a Wednesday morning, business is meant for Private Members. Because of the critical issue about funds going to the counties, it is in order that the House Business Committee decided that we must prioritise this Bill today. As we know very well, the Division of Revenue Bill was assented to yesterday. It gives room for this money to be sent to the counties. Money cannot be sent to the counties without passing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill from the Senate. As we move forward, we also call upon our governors wherever they are that as this money goes to the counties, we want delivery to the people. Some of them have prioritised corruption. We want accountability. I was just reading today’s newspapers and looking at the ranking of the performance of some counties. I am sorry to say that there are some governors who are there for a second term and they are still last. The Governor for my county is still last. When you repeat a class, we expect you to improve and move forward. It seems these governors have been advocating to get money, but when it comes to performance, there is nothing we can see on the ground. We are calling upon the Members to pass this Procedural Motion, so that the money can go to the counties immediately and we can have service delivery to our great people. I beg to second."
