In the statement, the committee should- (1) Explain why the County Government of Nakuru allocated only 4 per cent for development in the Kshs18.79 billion budget allocation in disregard of the requirements of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act that counties allocate a minimum of 30 per cent of their budget to development expenditure; (2) State the reasons for the numerous stalled projects in Nakuru County, particularly those inherited from the previous county governments, including Mai Mahiu, Gilgil, Olenguruone Level 4 Hospital and the fish market in Naivasha Township and provide timelines for their completion."}
