I have forgotten his membership number, but he is Hon. Atandi, MP. Can you please use your internal structure to inform him to carry out this, instead of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is very valid information, but I think the context is more important than the information. The context here is this. I know that the Senate Majority Whip was not involved in the signing of the cooperation agreement when the President and the former Prime Minister were doing it. They pronounced themselves on this matter and said that it is possible to give counties Kshs450 billion. The National Assembly and the Senate might not have had a scientific way to get to Kshs450 billion because the committee has already recommended that we give counties Kshs405 billion. This committee is never out of science and I am adding more science to it. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, if you look at the budget that has been proposed in the BPS, there is more money that should be added to Kshs405 billion to make it Kshs450 billion. That is what I am saying. I am informing you that on these Votes, these monies must go to counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Vote D1331, take the Kshs12 million that is put for sounds, chemical and waste management in Kenya, back to counties. Enhancing community resilience and water security is a county function, therefore, Kshs300 million, must go to counties. On Vote D1152, State Department for Energy, the money that has been put aside, of Kshs1.4 billion for the last mile electricity connectivity, must go to counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the same Vote, critical rural access last mile connectivity, Kshs200 million must go to counties. On Vote D1162, State Department for Livestock and Development, Kshs20 million put for livestock production interventions, agriculture, must go to counties. On the same Vote, establishment of feedlots, fodder and pasture, a whooping Kshs50 million, must go to counties. On Vote D1104, State Department of Irrigation, smallholder irrigation program, Kshs7 billion must go to counties. On community-based irrigation projects, Kshs1 billion must go to counties. On Vote D1091, State Department of Roads, access roads to affordable housing facilities, a whooping Kshs325 million, must go to counties. On access to roads to industrial park facilities, already counties are contributing to this and they are struggling in their physical space. Therefore, a whooping Kshs290 million, must go to counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of pressure of time, I must say that if I summarize, the old Vote around State Department for Medical Services, a Vote of Kshs7.2 billion, must go to counties. The Vote on State Department for the arid and semi-arid (ASAL) and regional development, a whooping Kshs2.7 billion must go to counties. On the Vote of State Department for Environment and Climate Change, which is coming to about Kshs374 million, must both go to counties."
