    "content": "We are aware that there are some counties that are operating at an annual deficit and at some point, the national Treasury is going to look at those things so that as they make monthly disbursements, they can slowly start disbursing monies to counties that have a deficit and which you will ultimately be requested for rather, than the national Treasury paying bulk amounts at the end of the year. It would be best for them to start that compensation early enough, piecemeal by piecemeal, to avoid cash-flow challenges. What we are asking is that, as a House, we need in our oversight capacity, to see the planning that the counties are engaged in. We need to be part of that planning that is being done at the county level. We need to ensure that proper procedures are followed in procurement; we need to ensure that counties are prioritizing expenditures in the manner that they are supposed to. For example, we have seen and heard counties that are working in a rather unexplainable manner. When you propose that you want to put Kshs200 million in a governor’s house when the Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) in the counties have nothing in them; children are learning under trees and yet you want to put up Kshs200 million for the governor’s house, then something is amiss."
