    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have also received some information from Homa Bay County that the Governor, as the head of that government, has been required to submit to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of devolution, their budget. I do not know under what provision of the law that request has been made. In fact, it no longer sounds like a request, but an order. We know where budgets go. We know that the county government makes its budget and submits it to Treasury and if, of course, the Minister in charge of devolution – which as I earlier said is a mistake – decides to see that information for whatever reason, because I think they also have some money that they can grant to the counties, there is a clear communication between her and Treasury. We do not see how a Governor will be summoned by anybody because that is a separate government. In fact, they only meet the President at the Summit. That is what the Constitution provides. We are not going to start joking around in this House. Our job is to protect and defend county governments against the national Government."
