    "content": "involvement of Members of the County Assembly. However, when it comes to implementation of those budgets, something else is concocted and implemented. It would be important and imperative for the Committee to which this matter is taken to ensure that they obtain copies of the HANSARD and even indications from the budget Committee of the Taita Taveta County Assembly so that we know what we are talking about. In my county, Migori, there was an election a couple of years ago of the Speaker. What was recorded in the HANSARD and what was taken to court, because this matter eventually ended in court, confirmed that there is alteration of the HANSARD. Madam Deputy Speaker, you know that both the county government and the national Government can only expend money as appropriated and approved by budgets of county assembly. This is a fundamental and a constitutional matter that is likely to take people to very cold and lonely places if it is found that they are acting contrary to the Constitution. I support this Statement and ask the Committee to which it will be taken to take it seriously because we are trying to treat it as a test case so that we try and find out what is happening in other counties, including my county of Migori. Is my county implementing the budget that was passed originally? Or, due to the sweetheart relationship between the county assembly and the executives, they are implementing something else that could be a love letter? Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity."
