    "content": "According to the Public Finance Management Act, all revenue for the county government is received and channeled through the CRF in the Central Bank of Kenya. For it to be utilised, we get authority of the Controller of budget through requisitions. When authority is granted, our requisition is that we want a certain amount of money to go to the Central Bank of Kenya account that is operational. There is a recurrent expenditure account and the development expenditure account for the executive. There are also both recurrent and development expenditure accounts for the county assembly. We requisition money to get into those accounts, so that we can use it for payment. The Controller of Budget authorized us to spend Kshs545 million. However, looking at our account, we seem to have spent Kshs615 million. So, there is an excess that we have been able to utilize, but she had not authorized. She can only conclude and suggest that we used money at source. This is not true in that the report that the Controller of Budget is using to conclude that we have spent Kshs615 million, is generated from the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS). However, in our process of paying we used both IFMIS as the payment processing platform, which is interfaced or hyphenated with internet banking."
