    "content": "reagents, they are inadequate and fluctuating with electricity challenges. If you go to far flung counties like Isiolo Marsabit and Garissa, you will find that these equipment are not working. There is also increase in the level of pending bills and high expenditure on personal expenditure. The PFM Act is very clear. Let me start with expenditure on salaries. Counties continue to spend a significant share of their allocation on emoluments contrary to the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. Regulation 25(1)(b) of the County Government Regulations sets it at 35 per cent of the counties total expenditure. Today, I am quoting a report from the Controller of the Budget that they are at 44.8 per cent. The Controller of Budget is supposed to crack the whip. She is not doing it. She is bringing a report to this House saying that the counties are spending 44.8 per cent on salaries. The essence of devolution was to bring service namely, health, water, education and roads to our people."
