"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (National Assembly Bill No.2 of 2025). This is a very important piece of legislation because it allocates resources beyond the equitable share that we normally have. I have checked the schedule and this Bill allocates money that accrues out of court fines, grants, and loans from development partners and other international bodies. Of importance, if your look at Clause 3 of the Bill, it says that The National Treasury shall facilitate any agreement between a county government and a development partner, and shall table agreements in the National Assembly and Senate, before inclusion in this Bill. Therefore, this parameter of checking where the National Assembly approves this Bill, is very important. It will ensure that county governments do not enter into agreements with development partners without the National Assembly’s approval. I think that is a very important provision under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and also under this Bill. Any agreement entered into by the county government and other partners is subject to approval before this House. That is a very progressive legislation or provision of law that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have heard Members here lamenting that there is a lot of pilferage and wastage by county governments. In my opinion, the problem goes to the design and the architecture of the Constitution of this county. We gave ourselves our Constitution without thinking deeply on how it will affect us as a country. The wastage we are talking about in the county government, is brought about by the design and architecture of our Constitution. We need to ask ourselves the role of the county assemblies in this country. The primary oversight of the county government is the county assemblies. We have a problem with adhering to the Constitution even in this House. We have county assemblies that do not have the minority groups. Performing oversight role becomes very difficult in a county assembly where 100 per cent of the members are elected from the party on which the governor is elected."
