    "content": " That was in the Senate. I was explaining the Controller of Budget (CoB’s) report and the observations she made. We did well and our revenue increased as per the attached document. There was also improvement in the use of the IFMIS and internet banking and processing financial transactions. On page 308, we have observations and recommendations by the CoB. It is stated that the county made progress in addressing some of the challenges previous identified in the implementation of budgets. Some of the progress made included improved compliance to Article 207 of the Constitution of Kenya regarding depositing funds at source in terms of revenue collection into the CRF Account. There is a chart that was provided by the CoB which explains everything. What I would like to mention, at this juncture is that; that was the report of the CoB and not Sonko, the Governor of Nairobi City County. A total of Kshs20.4 billion was spent on both development and recurrent activities. This expenditure represented 120.3 per cent of the total released from the CRF Account. That was an increase of 19.8 per cent from 88.4 per cent recorded in the FY 2017/2018. Another one is 311(9) which presents a combined graph but there was also an improvement in development expenditure which recorded absorption of 78.9 per cent, which was an increase from 26.1 per cent attained in the FY 2017/2018. Conversely, recurrent expenditure represented 90.8 per cent of the annual recurrent budget, an increase from 88 per cent recorded in FY 2017/2018. The document is in the public domain."
