come, many of you will come here as Members of Parliament (MPs). Your teachers will also learn something. When you go back home, you will probably have learnt something. I thank you for coming.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support this Statement. The county Governments, especially the county assembly, is a very important organ within the devolution sectors.

secretary during the Transition Authority (TA) and later in the County Government of Narok and County Government of Kajiado. Sometimes failure comes in when counties are planning their budget. They mess a lot by exaggerating their Own Source Revenue (OSR) figures. However, towards the end, they end up having shortcomings in their collections and much more on areas of the allocation of funds provided by this Senate. I know very well that we have a lot of issues in implementation of projects and change of priorities. When counties do their work plans to the Controller of Budgets (CoB), they have ...
