    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a Statement on a matter of general topical concern namely, the operating expenses of the county offices. I take this opportunity to inform the House of the progress made in the disbursement of funds to county offices by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). I do this appreciating my duty to this House, which approved my appointment as a Commissioner to the PSC on Wednesday, 9th November, 2022. I wish to notify the House that the PSC as at Thursday 7th March, 2023, received and processed operational returns from 39 county offices. The Commission proceeded to process payments for the offices for their office operations for January to March, 2024. I wish to notify hon. Senators that the vouchers for payments of the disbursements for the mentioned quarter are in the cash office pending payment. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to bring to the attention of the House that we requested for Exchequer from the National Treasury, but as of 7th March 2024, we have not been funded. As an interim measure, the Commission has facilitated the payment of staff salaries for the period of January and February, 2024."
