    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the County Governments’ (Equitable Share) Cash Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2024/2025 laid on the Table of the Senate on Wednesday, 4th December, 2024 and that, pursuant to Section 17 (7) of the Public Finance Management Act and Standing Order No.189 (3), the Senate approves the County Governments’ (Equitable Share) Cash Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2024/2025 to take effect upon enactment of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills No. 25 of 2024). The disbursement schedule is a document that is intended for purposes of predictable cash flow to our county governments. County governments have operated on a reprieve that was given by Regulation 134 of Public Finance Management (PFM) Regulations, which will expire by the end of December. The disbursement schedule has been planned from 1st July. As such, you find that in the observation that I can share with the Senate; there is no accuracy in the disbursement because of that challenge we have been operating in, on vote on account. Subsequently, the National Treasury has managed to share the cash disbursement schedule, which indicates the predictable cash flow to county governments based on the proposed allocations in the CARB, as well as the Division of Revenue. The Committee considered the cash disbursement schedule on the 4th December, 2024 and noted that it indicates the amount each county is expected to receive on the 15th of every month as indicated in the document we have shared and the report that is online. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the only issue I would like to share with the House is that the National Treasury has not been extremely accurate in conforming to the requirements of the cash disbursement schedule of releasing the funds every 15th of each month as planned---"
