    "content": " Sen. Olekina, I carefully gave you that opportunity and I listened to you attentively. Now, when you rise on a point of order, it is presumed that the Senator speaking according to you is disorderly and you want to call him to order. Therefore, you rise on a point of order. Now, when the Senator for Kiambu rose to speak, he stated that in Kiambu County, all the monies meant for that county for last year was received. He proceeded to say the monies meant for July; the July tranche was also received. To that extent, he is not out of order. Your main concern which is a valid concern Sen. Olekina, is the second limb of your point of order which cannot then be attributable to the Senator of Kiambu, when you rose to say I am concerned. When you say: These monies that are supposed to be disbursed this financial year ought to be disbursed after the Senate has debated this particular Motion that we are debating now. So, how come Kiambu has received its July share? That is not for the Senator for Kiambu to respond. The person to respond to that concern is the National Treasury. The Senator for Kiambu merely said we have received. The person who is responsible for that disbursement is actually the National Treasury. Sen. Olekina, this is my advice to you. You have been told that Kiambu has received its disbursement for July, which can only have come from the National Treasury. According to you, that ought not to have been done until the Senate has debated this matter. Therefore, take that matter to the National Treasury."
