    "content": "counties paying teachers in such facilities below the gazetted minimum wage; FURTHER CONCERNED THAT, the Report by the Office of the Controller of Budget on County Governments Budget Implementation Review for the first six months of Financial Year (FY) 2023/24 indicate that allocation to the Education Sector in all the forty-seven (47) counties range between 0.7 percent to 10.3 percent of their total budgets, and that a majority of the county governments spend a great percentage of the education sector budgets on provision of scholarships and bursaries to students in secondary and tertiary institutions, with some counties allocating up to 84% of their education budgets for such scholarships at the expense of the core mandate of providing quality preprimary education and improving infrastructure in the village polytechnics and homecraft centres; NOW THEREFORE, THE SENATE RESOLVES THAT- 1) the County Governments stop funding National Government functions such as providing scholarships to students in secondary and tertiary institutions, and increase funding to pre-primary education, village polytechnics and homecraft centres for improvement of infrastructure and payment of better wages to teachers in such facilities; 2) the Controller of Budget ensures compliance and does not approve monies to County Governments for carrying out functions of the National Government; and 3) the Auditor General reports on the compliance status on funding of National Government functions by the County Governments in the annual reports."
