    "content": "The Committee recommends that the Bill be approved with amendments. The amendments relate to- (a) Amendment to Clause 6 to provide for reporting on the expenditure on funding of transferred functions. To prevent accumulation of pending bills by County Assemblies, the Committee recommends introduction of a new clause after Clause 11 to amend the PFM Act, 2012 to ensure all monies appropriated for County Assemblies are transferred in full by the end of the financial year. In the event of unspent balances, it should be availed in the subsequent financial year for budgeting and settlement of any financial commitments made in the previous year. This came out very strongly because once the financial year ends and the County Assemblies have not received disbursements from the county governments, they normally do not get the balances of the money they had budgeted for. So, we thought it prudent to capture that and ensure it is captured in this Bill. The other is readjustment of County Assemblies’ recurrent expenditure ceiling by an additional Kshs1,428,254,696 to enable counties adhere to the various SRC circulars pertaining to annual salary increments and promotion of staff."
