    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am reading on behalf of the Chairperson, Sen. Moses Kajwang’, who is away on official parliamentary duties. We are enjoying a cordial relationship unlike what is happening in the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.56(1)(b) to make a Statement on the activities of the County Public Accounts Committee for the period commencing April to September 2024. During the period under review, the Committee held a total of 40 meetings--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you need to protect me from the Minority Whip because this is his Committee. During the period under review, the Committee observed that most counties have consistently failed to meet their Own Source Revenue (OSR) targets in all the fiscal years since the start of devolution. Counties have the potential to generate approximately Kshs200 billion in OSR from various streams. The County Government Budget Implementation Review Report for the Financial Year 2022/2023 by the Office of the Controller of Budget (COB) indicates that the county governments raised Kshs37.8 billion, way below from Kshs200 billion projected by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) from their sources of revenue, accounting for 65.9 per cent of the annual target of Kshs57.37 billion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is for this reason that the Committee plans to conduct a special audit on revenue collection, starting with Nairobi, Kiambu and Narok counties."
