    "content": "We will console ourselves that we did not lose completely because what had been proposed earlier was Kshs310 billion and we managed to push it to Kshs316 billion. However, that consolation to me is not enough. As I said, we have the CRA that has been given the mandate in the Constitution. They made their proposal, but they were ignored. Therefore, we should not take a consolation in saying we managed to push this from Kshs310 billion to Kshs316 billion as I heard my good friend, the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget saying. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, because I know that my five minutes are almost over, even as we push to increase the allocation to the counties, my only demand that I make to the governors is that we want to see proper usage of these monies we are sending to the counties. We want them to prioritise projects that will benefit the people in the counties. We want to see these monies go towards education of our children in terms of bursary and provision of clean water. Health facilities should be well equipped and manned by trained personnel. We also want improvement of our infrastructure."
