    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, Wajir County uses the money that is allocated to them wrongly. For instance, Wajir County used Kshs253 million to prepare for the COVID-19 pandemic which is close to 95 per cent of the money that is allocated to them. By December 2019, the Wajir County Government had a pending bill of Kshs2.32 billion. However, the pending bills have mysteriously gone down to zero this year. The small traders who supplied the Wajir County Government are crying right now, yet we are being told that the county does not have any pending bills. The Wajir County Government is manipulating and playing around with the County Strategy Paper, which they sent to the Controller of Budget and the National Treasury. The pending bills for Wajir County from the 2019/2020 FY have been forwarded to the 2020/2021 Financial Year, yet they say that they do not have pending bills. The Wajir County Government has been playing with the County Finance Strategy Paper and the Annual Development Plan (ADP). I urge the Committee on Finance and Budget to consider this Statement seriously and ensure that the Controller of Budget and the National Treasury investigate these issues, so that the people of Wajir County receive justice. I thank you."
