"content": "Hon. Speaker, Parliament - as per the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 - appropriates funds. It has been very shocking to see the Council of Governors (CoG) consistently begging the Deputy President, who Chairs the IBEC, for additional funds. I just wonder whether our governors have actually read the Constitution. It is only this House that appropriates funds. The Division of Revenue Bill is the only Bill that must go to Senate so that it can have an input. It is very shocking that we see the Chairperson of CoG, on a regular basis, begging the Deputy President to give them more money. I want to advise them to come and do public participation with the Budget and Appropriations Committee. They should bring their views to them so that they can be heard. When they are making decisions to share funds between national Government and county governments, they will be considerate. When you go to the wrong office to ask for money, then you have yourself to blame."
