    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, at times, we have experienced National Treasury delaying funds to the county governments. This is something that we have noted. I am happy because at the moment, all funds for the financial year 2022/2023 have fully been disbursed to the counties. The last one was just last week when I witnessed the Permanent Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning, Mr. Kiptoo, disbursing the final batch of Kshs32 billion. This is something that we also laud the Kenya Kwanza Government for. In our manifesto, one of the key goals was to ensure that counties receive their monies on time. This Schedule is very key to the counties because, if it is approved by this House, the counties will plan better. It also gives the National Treasury the opportunity to disburse the funds on time. If we delay passing this Schedule, it only delays funding to the counties. Following the enactment of the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) No.8 of 2023, which provides individual county allocations for FY 2023/2024, the National Treasury submitted the Cash Disbursement Schedule to the Senate on 6th July, 2023, for consideration and approval. As I stated, the Schedule was tabled in the House on 18th July, 2023, and committed to the Committee on Finance and Budget, pursuant to Standing Order No.189(2)."
