Noting the increased number of projects funded through conditional grants, I implore the various Standing Committees of this House to take keen interest in the implementation of projects funded by conditional grants. They should engage respective state agencies and ministries charged with implementing specific projects with a view to determine the effectiveness of discharged funds.

Last time, we heard that there were some changes in the allocation to the counties. I am glad that nothing has come to us so far. In fact, once we enact this Bill, this House should resist any amendment that will come without the support of this House. This is a very important amendment to the Bill and we should fast-track it, for these funds to be channeled to the counties because we are almost halfway into the Financial Year.

While on this Floor, I want to Report that the counties have reported receipt of some funds from the Treasury. I was told that, for now, they are about two-and-a-half months behind. Going forward, as the Committee on Finance and Budget, we will ensure that counties get the money they are supposed to get as per the Schedule that this House passed. With those few remarks, I beg to move and I ask Sen. Cheruiyot to second.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Members for contributing effectively to this Bill. As I said, the aim of this Bill is to add some extra funding from three donors to support counties through conditional grants. One thing that Members have said, which is correct, is that grants are negotiated and agreed between the National Treasury and specific development partners, but we in the Senate, do not know the details.

Going forward, as a Committee, we will engage the National Treasury so that we understand the conditions of the grants. All I know is that before counties get those monies, they engage various departments of the national Government and specific donors. That is why some monies in the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) are not disbursed as required to various counties, because they have to meet certain criteria before they get access to those funds. With those remarks, I beg to reply. Pursuant to Standing Order No.61 (3), I request that you defer putting of the question on the ...
