    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order has been partly dealt with by hon. Duale. Is it in order for the Minister to try to mislead this House that it is roads and contracts that he does not want to terminate and yet, that is the job of the national Government? Roads that are part of the county government are also part of what he has brought here. But what we are saying is this: There is a constitutional requirement that a certain amount of money should be sent to the county governments. All we are asking hon. Githae in conjunction with the Attorney-General who is seated next to him is to conform to the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya and grant the amount of money that has been given by the Constitution. In any event, will it be in order for the Minister to tell the House that he has catered for salaries of governors? I will be a governor in Kiambu. I will just sit there and wait for the salaries and yet, there will be nothing to do for a quarter of a year. So, really, let the Minister be kind enough and withdraw this for the rest of the day. He should go and consult and conform to the Constitution. We will have a problem when people will start going to court to claim the unconstitutionality of this Supplementary Budget. So, please, take heart, Mr. Githae, and consult widely. Do not get upset."
