    "content": "(1) Can the county government explain why 128 officers who have been serving on probationary terms for over six months, contrary to section b (13) (1) of the County Public Service Human Resource Manual and Section 42(2) of the Employment Act, whether they will be confirmed or not. (2) I would like the county executive to shed light on allegations of the employment of 901 employees who are being paid less than the minimum wage in contravention of the Employment Act of 2007. (3) I would like to ask the county government to assess and give the committee the county's compliance with the National Cohesion and Integration Act given that 96 per cent of the county's workforce are from the dominant community of the Kisii and very few other Kenyans have been given this opportunity. (4) I would like to have the county government review the human resource management practice in place, particularly the failure to implement the approval and promotions of 103 officers who work in the county government due with an excuse that is because of the budgetary complaints and constraints that are affecting this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1), I seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget regarding the financial mismanagement of several issues within the Kisii County Government. In the statement, the committee should- (1) Have the county government clarify whether there have been unsupported expenditures totaling to Kshs381,310,505 in salaries and allowances and Kshs58,887,358 utilised for domestic travelling within the last one year. (2) Investigate the procurement process of Kisii County Government, particularly in the construction and refurbishment of roads within the county and provide evidence, if necessary, for us to know the companies that were given those roads and what criteria was used and whether the Public Procurement and Disposal Act was followed for these individuals to be given those works. (3) Be informed by the county government why about 44 per cent of its vehicles fleet and machinery, including all the equipment are all grounded, dysfunctional and do not have insurance policies taken on them. (4) Explain to this House the reason for the reported underfunding and under- expenditure in certain budgetary lines such as capacity building, which has led to the county government officers unable to perform their services according to the law. (5) Have the Executive of the Kisii County Government explain to this House how much Own Source Revenue (OSR) the county government has collected for the last two years and amount collected from the Kisii County Alcohol Control Fund. (6) Receive an explanation from the county government, the Controller of Budget and the Auditor-General regarding 923 voided transactions on the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) amounting to Kshs261,015,000 during the Financial Year 2023/2024 relating to the Kisii County Government expenditures. (7) Explain to this House, why is it that the Kisii County Executive is still holding Kshs5.4 billion in the County Revenue Fund (CRF) account and the employees are not getting their salaries yet the Senate is working so much to make sure that we seek funding"
