    "content": "go by the advice he offers or we can overturn. Once the county assembly overturns a decision of the Governor, he has no option but to sign. After overturning the decision of the Governor on the Appropriations Bill, 2020, it was taken back to him. As a requirement by law, the Governor was supposed to have assented to the Bill within seven days failure to which it automatically became law and effective. The Governor has a final say in terms of whether we can access the county’s money from the County Revenue Fund (CRF). The Governor was unable to give the go- ahead by way of writing and signing a warrant. We are December and I am sure that all the Members of this House are aware that budgets are supposed to be made by June to be effective by July. Can you imagine six months down the line, Nairobi City County has no budget? The Nairobi City County cannot pay staff or supply medicine to hospitals. The County cannot pay ECDE teachers simply because the Governor has refused to assent to Appropriations Bill by simply putting a pen on paper even if it is a golden pen."
