    "content": " Madam Deputy Speaker, I will respond to the question that was asked by Sen. Olekina in a very brief statement. There are certain dates that you have to keep in mind. The first date or period is March, 2019. That is the date that these funds were requisitioned. The second date that we must keep in mind is the 12th July, 2019. That is the day that these funds hit the account of the County Government. The third date you have to keep is 15th July, 2019. That is the day that these funds left the account. Within a fraction of three days, the money went to lawyers’ accounts and garbage collectors. The last date that then gives the answer that will tell you and demonstrate that this was illegal was September, 2020. That is the date that the Governor has told you that these funds---They realised that these funds were there and these funds were stopped. The question that begs is that it tells you that from this particular period of July, 2019 to September, 2020, it cuts across two financial years. What miracle happened that these funds were not transferred at the end of that financial year? These funds are supposed to be surrendered if they have not been unutilised. Was that done? It was not done. 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."
