    "content": "Disbursements for the County Government of Nyamira for the months of January and February were disbursed in March, together with the disbursement for the month of March. KRA does not want to engage in any discussions yet this is one Government. Today, as we speak, the County Government of Nyamira is yet to receive disbursement for the month of April and May. KRA has already issued agency notices to the County, threatening to attach their accounts again. We need order and we need this Government to be functional. You cannot have a government where KRA is attacking another government entity. We are becoming a laughing stock out there. If you do not give me money, how will I pay Pay As You Earn (PAYE) to KRA if money has not been disbursed? I hope Senators can move forward quickly with this matter and have a discussion with KRA. We need to come up with a solution which shall not subject counties to the kind of harassment that they are facing from KRA. Secondly, as we disburse these funds to counties, we must also assert our place in the Constitution. I have gone through the Finance Bill and seen a proposal to amend Section 31 of the Employment Act and deduct three per cent Housing Development Levy from Kenyans. The money will be used to develop housing units in counites."
