    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Mine is on the Exchequer release mostly to the counties. I remember between 2007 and 2013, the Prime Cabinet Secretary was the Minister for Local Government. He gave a directive to all local authorities to clear all pending bills by 2013. By 2013, I think the Prime Cabinet Secretary can bear me witness, all the local authorities had managed to clear all the pending bills and some local authorities like the county councils had a surplus in their accounts when the new counties were coming in. For the few days there was a delay in Exchequer release, all the county governments could not pay their staff. In the Financial Year 2013/2014, the cumulative budget for Murang’a County was around Ksh1.5 billion. That was the budget estimate for the first Financial Year 2013/2014. The budget for 2020/2021 for Murang'a County was Ksh500 million. An amount of Ksh1 billion had already vanished. The national Government is doing all efforts to make sure that they manage revenue collection. The county governments are doing very little on revenue The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
