    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, and, may be, I can give the context to this matter. The office of the Controller of Budget authorized Kshs545 million to the Nyeri County for utilization. One of the mandates of the office is to prepare quarterly reports. In preparation of these reports, we rely on the financial reports that we get from the counties. So, when we received the expenditure report from the county for the first quarter of 2015/2016 financial year, the total expenditure was kshs615 million therefore giving a difference of Kshs70 million which in our first quarter report, we attributed that excess to use of local revenue at source because at that stage, we did not have any information to the contrary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we wrote to the head f the county treasury on the same and what we did is in the subsequent reports; the second quarter and third quarter reports, we analyzed to see whether that situation was still obtaining. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there were no discrepancies. Neither did we observe any in the third quarter report. We are now compiling the fourth quarter report. We are also checking to find out The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
