    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The intention of this amendment is good. However, it is unprocedural in terms of the way public finances are managed. The work of the Controller of Budget is to implement the budget after it has been passed by Parliament and the county assemblies. Determination of the ceilings is the work of Parliament and county assemblies. What worries Hon. Mutura is the fact that some county assemblies are spending about 80 per cent of revenue on recurrent expenditure and only 20 per cent on development. At the national level, we do not even spend the required 30 per cent. Confirming that the ceilings are adhered to is the work of Parliament and not the Controller of Budget. I request my colleagues that despite the good intentions, this amendment would not be good for the country."
