Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, partners are supposed to contribute Ksshs34 billion and the Government Kshs7 billion. This is a valid concern that the money ought to go to the counties. As I stand here, I wonder if governors will prudently utilize this money they are asking for. At the moment, most of the county executives are busy campaigning. Sometimes, when they are called for meetings, they do not attend.

At times, when we want them to address key national issues that are burning the country, they are not available and the answers they give are not warranting. As we talk about this Bill, we agree that money ought to go to the counties. However, there is need to have a mechanism to ensure that this money is used prudently and that there is oversight. I am wonder how the county executives will work within the timeframe of three months to ensure that when this money is disbursed, it goes for the right cause.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when money goes to the counties, we need to ask ourselves if it will be used prudently given that the timeframe that is left is minimal and some county executives are not keen on national issues and are busy with campaigns. I agree that issues of education are important---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Give me two minutes. Issues of Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) and health are also important. However, we must ask ourselves whether county executives will be transparent in the manner in which they will use this money. Will they be accountable? Will oversight be done within the shortest time that we are remaining with?
