    "content": "One of the amendments I propose to the committee to consider, including in the CARA for 2021/2022, is that any money that is budgeted for but is not spent by a county assembly, either because the money had not been released by the county executive or was not sent by the National Treasury, should be used to offset their existing pending bills and that their budget remains. I have met many Speakers of county assemblies lamenting that the executives do not release money to them. The only way for us to cure that is through making sure that it is in the Act of Parliament. Otherwise, we can be saying that just on paper but there is no way the county executives will comply. They will continue getting money but if the National Treasury does not release money for the county executives but do it for the assemblies, they will proceed and use that money to offset their own budgets."
