    "content": "I want to believe that the Committee on Finance and Budget, which is chaired by the able Senator for Mandera and the Vice-Chairperson, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, is within their mandate to ensure that the moment we have a late disbursement of funds to counties, they rise up. They should summon the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning and all the people involved, and find out why our counties are not getting the money. If there is a good reason, the committee knows what to do. If there is no valid reason, they should enforce and ensure that this Ministry disburses money to our counties. It is painful that our counties can stay three to four months without any money. People are not earning salaries while the national Government employees are earning. I have just seen on my phone that Kiambu doctors are on strike because they have not earned the July/August salaries. These are problems that we expect the committee working with us, as a Senate, to ensure that our counties receive money in time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to comment on the Statement by Sen. Orwoba on social media platform. When you read this Statement, it clearly tells you that there is a gap in the management of the Data Protection Act and the regulation in this country. I think it is time that this Parliament called to order the Office of Data Protection. I do not think they are doing adequate work to protect Kenyans who have continued to suffer."
