    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am keen to look at the audit reports of Gov. Kidero. However, apart from the issues of system, I want to look at what is happening in Nairobi County now. I would like to know what the Deputy Governor, Ms. Kananu, and the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) are doing in Nairobi County. If we look at the current issues, we would be able to do real-time audit and oversight. This is a House of oversight and that is our most critical role. I am glad that we pushed the Controller of Budget to send each Senator the monthly exchequer releases for their counties. The exchequer release report gives Senators an immediate view of what is going on. I thank the Office of the Controller of Budget because I have been receiving timely exchequer releases reports. When I call, they never fail to pick their calls to explain. From the last exchequer release report that I received, I was dismayed that in this Financial Year, 2020/2021, out of an allocation of Kshs37 billion, the Nairobi County Government has only received Kshs4.7 billion which is for the entire financial year. I was shocked to see that all the money that has been received is all on recurrent expenditure and nothing on development project. The NMS has also not received anything from the exchequer. The NMS is currently operating on the national Government budgets."
