    "content": "“The purpose of an emergency fund is to enable payment to be made in respect of a county when an urgent and unforeseen need for expenditure arises for which there is no specific legislative authority.” I want to draw a parallel between this provision and the provision that we have in the CDF Act on the expenditure of emergency funds. If we are not careful and leave all this to the decision of the Cabinet Secretary, that he or she must convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that there is need for an emergency, when a County Assembly has already seen that need, then it might negate the entire system. We need to have either annexure or fortify that statement to ensure that we are not giving this important decision to one person who might then negate the whole system."
