Wakati huo, Sen. Cherarkey alikuwa upande wa serikali. Walisema kuwa hawatakubali Ripoti ambayo inahusisha Waziri kupita katika Bunge hili, kisha wakaiangusha. Akubali kuwa alipiga kura ama asikubali. Ikiwa hatakubali rekodi ya Bunge inaweza kuitishwa ili tuone jinsi alivyopiga kura.

Bw. Naibu wa Spika, nimesikia ndugu yangu Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, akisema kwamba kaunti ambazo zimetengwa hazijakubalika. Swala la awamu ya pili ya kaunti ambazo zimetajwa kutengwa, lililetwa katika hili Bunge Muhula uliokwisha. Kaunti hizo ziliongezeka ninafikiri 14 hadi 32 au 34. Hizo ndizo sasa zinatambulika kama marginalized counties. Kwa hivyo, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale anapoteza Bunge hili anaposema kuwa kaunti zilizotengwa hazijakubalika. Inafaa arekebishe swala hili.

These funds are meant to cover several programmes run by county governments. The resources address various programmes of intervention in the development of our counties and the country in general. Programmes such as climate change resilience are very important in our counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we all know, there was this climate conference in Egypt last week, where issues of conservation of our climate and the environment in general were discussed. Some of the resources which are being covered by this Bill, will go into mitigating some of the climate change experiences that our country is undergoing.

Secondly, drought mitigation has been covered by some of the funds that are meant to be released by this Bill. As you are aware, more than half of the counties are reeling under the drought situation at the moment. The Government and private sector are busy raising funds, yet there are funds within the Government that are lying idle. These fund should go a long way in mitigating and minimizing the suffering that our people are undergoing. The earlier we pass this Bill, the better for everyone especially those who are in the drought-stricken counties and depend on aid to ...

However, in the first allocation, most counties were allocated machines they did not need. Therefore, in this third round, counties need to be vigilant and take equipment that they require. In the first contract, counties were just flooded with equipment in their
