    "content": "1. We carried out pre-publication scrutiny and examined the Crypto-Assets legislative Proposal by Sen. Allan Chesang. The Senator of Kitale. 2. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) provided views to the committee regarding the proposed legislation. The Committee submitted its comments to the Speaker for the necessary action. The sixth consideration was the status of the implementation of the projects funded by the Conditional Grant as a supplement to the construction of the county headquarters, following the request by the Council of Governors (CoG). The projects funded by the Conditional Grant for the construction of county headquarters requested that they be transferred from the State Department of Public Works to the respective county governments. The Committee held a multi-agency meeting with the National Treasury, the State Department of Public Works, the CoG and respective county Senators and the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee. The purpose of the meeting was to deliberate on a joint position and determine the best way forward on how to fast-track these stalled projects to ensure the intended purpose for which they will be accomplished. The Committee tabled the Report to the Senate with the recommendations, among others, that the overall responsibility of project management, including supervision, monitoring and payment of contractors of the projects should be handed over to the respective beneficiary county governments. This report is awaiting consideration of this House debate and adoption. The seventh activity is on the activities for the Committee in the next quarter. The Committee is scheduled to consider the following business. i) Report of the Public Finance Management Bill; ii) Matrix of Stakeholder Submissions on the County Public Finance Laws (Amendment) Bill; iii) The Division of Revenue Bill, 2024; iv) The County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2024; v) The County Government's Additional Allocations Bill, 2024; vi) The Medium-Term Review Strategy; vii) The Controller of Budget, County Government's Budget Implementation Reports; and vii) The Statements pending before the committee. Mr. Speaker, the Committee appreciates all the stakeholders who were available or who we consulted for valuable information that was provided to us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the Members of the committee for their dedication and commitment to ensure execution of the Committee’s mandate. I also acknowledge the support accorded to the Committee by the Office of the Speaker and the Office of the Clerk in facilitating the Committee to effectively implement its work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
