    "content": "against. They go to market centres and use those rungus to enforce tax collection and yet that money is not reflecting in the accounts. We must demand full automation of OSR streams across all county governments. We must demand that accountability and issues of used utilisation of funds at source must be brought to a stop. If we can find a way of linking the recommendations of the CPAIC and the various Committees of this House to Article 225 of the Constitution and Section 94 of the Public Finance Management Act - that says that in the case of persistent breaches of the law and of the Constitution, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) National Treasury on a resolution of Parliament can stop transfer of funds. We have enough evidence to warrant that kind of interaction. Finally, on intergovernmental relation, the allocation to the Ministry of Devolution and ASALs has shrunk significantly. It looks that it will just be preparing tea and paying salaries. Mr. Speaker Sir, there is no need to have a CS sitting in Cabinet and doing nothing just yawning while the rest of the CSs are overworked. If they do not like CS Keter, let them kick him out and put someone substantively. There is no need to have CS Keter as a CS and then you shrink his budget. If you look at the way that budget has shrunk, you wonder whether it is for a Ministry or a department here in Parliament. I hope that the shrinking of that budget will not affect the Inter-Governmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) which has a tough task of verifying assets and liabilities of county governments and defunct local authorities."
