Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must motivate them. I can see the Minority Side, led by Sen. Sifuna are so happy that they have even gone to take tea. Let us be honest in this country. I even saw our women roast maize in Kingwal but without sheds yet this is a rainy season. They are forced to go to hospital more often. It is funny that in Nandi, you would buy food in places where you are not sure of your hygiene. When you fall sick, you go to Kapsabet Referral Hospital where there are no drugs and you end ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will stay focused, as guided. My eye is on the price. I ask the Committee on Finance and Budget to also provide us --- we have passed a law on the issue of conditional grants.

Can Sen. Sifuna confirm to the country that there was an increment of allocations to the counties through the Division of Revenue Bill?
