    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, much as I sit on that Committee, I would like the Chairman to clarify the timelines within which the National Treasury is going to make those funds which we have recommended that they be released to the county assemblies to be made available? Although I only have two minutes, allow me to make a general comment. If, indeed, we want to be seen to protect the county assemblies as well as the county executive arm, we must also protect the institutions that participate in the governance of devolution. In this case, we cannot leave the county while the MCAs and Speakers continue to think that CRA acted outside the law. The CRA actually acted within the law as per Article 216 where they are allowed to make recommendations to us. Having made those recommendations, it is now for us to stand behind the Chairman and congratulate him for moving the Committee to recommend that this money that was released on the wrong perception by a recommendation of the CRA was actually a legal directive, it be corrected, and that creates the way forward."
