We request the Committee on Finance and Budget and other relevant Committees to put some restrictions on county administrations. The revenue allocation and own- source revenues will need to have good structures to prevent such things.

Secondly, we have these additional conditional allocations, which we have introduced today. We need to approve as soon as possible because the Bill will help counties unlock many problems, particularly on health, roads and other things.

We are against this insecurity and the CS in charge of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government needs to put this issue to rest.

It is very important that the Senate follows up on this matter.
