    "content": "Perhaps that conversation needs to be revived, so that we have a County Integrated Finance Management System to ensure that counties are accountable for the expenditure of their finances. I like the provisions of Clause 109(b) on the utilisation of the fund. It says in black and white that- “The fund shall be used to defray administrative expenses of the county assemblies, acquisition and proper maintenance of buildings, grounds, and other assets of the county assembly, and administrative expenses as may be incurred by the fund under this Act.” This is explicitly provided for in the Bill. The clerk of the assembly, who is designated as the accounting officer for the fund, will then have to directly to answer or work closely with the Controller of Budget to manage their own accounts and funds. As I said when I began, if we achieve this situation, the assemblies will not have to rely on the executive for anything, and devolution will have made a big leap forward. With those many remarks, I support the Bill."
