    "content": "Chairperson should assist us to build a link between the MCAs, to ensure that we look into the re-directing of many budgets to the fight against COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are only a few days to the end of the financial year. Therefore, we need to release the Kshs5 billion to counties, so as to assist them. For example, Uasin Gishu County did not have any COVID-19 infections, but now they have 11 infections. As we try to address the challenges, we must give power and resources to counties. As I conclude, I do not know why in this county, there is always an allergy of releasing resources to counties. People want to stay with money in Nairobi and I do not know why they want to do it. The other day, there were landslides in West Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties, just imagine unga, blankets and other items were bought in Nairobi by the Ministry and taken to villages in those counties. Why are we not devolving some of these issues?"
