    "content": "It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the following: 1. Information from the Controller of Budget on the total amount of public funds that have been spent by the county governors in the provision of bursaries to students at different levels of education, namely, pre-primary education, primary schools, secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and universities for the financial years 2024/2025, 2023/2024, 2022/2023, 2021/2022 and 2020/2021. The information on the total amount of devolved funds spent for each financial year should also clearly indicate the level of education for which the public funds were spent for provision of bursaries per county. 2. Explanation from the Controller of Budget on the legal basis for authorising withdrawal of funds for expenditure by the county governors to provide bursaries for functions that do not fall under the county governments’ jurisdiction. 3. Specific steps the Controller of Budget has taken to stop the apparently unlawful expenditure of public funds by the county governors. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
