    "content": "cause a disruption in the budget-making process for county governments and ex-post affect the effective implementtion of the budget. Theses two scenarios, therefore, beg the question whether county governments have a remedy within the law that would allow limited access to their share of nationally raised revenue. I would like to first call your attention to the provisions of Section 134(1) and (2) of the Public Finance Management Act which provides that: - “(1) If the County Appropriation Bill for a financial year has not been assented to, or is not likely to be assented to by the beginning of that financial year, a county assembly may authorize the withdrawal of money from the County Revenue Fund. (2) Money withdrawn under subsection (1)— (a) may be used only for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on the services of the county governments during the financial year concerned until such time as the relevant appropriation law is passed; and, (b) may not exceed, in total, one-half of the amount included in the estimates of expenditure submitted to the county assembly for that year.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
