I propose that we, as Senators, should have access to even the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) of our respective counties, not to pay or withdraw, but ‘read-only’ access. I will then be able to know what is happening in my county on a daily basis, by just logging in and looking at what the county is doing. Senators should also have ‘read-only’ access to the Internet Banking (IB) of our counties, so that we see what the governors are doing."
