    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support the sending of money to counties for this conditional allocation. However, I want to agree with Sen. Ososi that it is time we amend the law to make it compulsory for the National Treasury to send the money to counties, as has been allocated per the Schedule. Hon. Speaker, we may also want to amend the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, so that we separate the National Treasury from the business of managing finances of the national Government. This is because there is confusion in the National Treasury, where it seems to behave as if it is a treasury of the national Government and county governments have to go there and beg. The National Treasury is supposed to serve the two levels of government in an equal measure. It is saddening to note that sometimes salaries for workers in county governments delay, but the salaries in national Government agencies and the public service are on time. The delay is because the Disbursement Schedule is not being followed by the National Treasury. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
