"content": "I want to say that in supporting this Bill, the Ministry needs to be able to appraise this House. Even as we set up the structures to receive revenue and fund county governments, how about the preparedness of county governments in so far as integrated financial information management systems are concerned? The Controller of Budget shall be very unwilling - I would be very unwilling myself - to approve withdrawals or disbursements of funds from the national treasury to the counties without being very sure that we have a system that will not only administer but also control and be able to audit the resources when we enact this Bill, and, of course manage and account for the same. Otherwise, we shall end up devolving our national headquarters’ bad habits that ensure resources are there to be misappropriated. With those remarks, I beg to support subject to concurrence by the Minister that these issues I have raised shall be addressed when we get to the Third Reading stage."
