Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope my time is controlled. Members of EALA need to be facilitated to the level required for them to represent this country adequately. My last point is on the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a stimulus package of Kshs5 billion that was provided to counties. My concern is the way the money was shared.
