    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are witnessing the exuberance, energy and the excitement of young lawyers. I thank my Chairman for the clarity in which he has explained the matter. I just want him to confirm to this distinguished Senate that one of the cardinal feelings of the Committee that will advise this House is that everything must be done within the law and the Constitution to ensure that we have financial independence of the county assemblies as houses of primary oversight on the county governments. We do not want to see situations where the county assemblies and assemblers are held hostage by governors simply because the funds that they get pass through the hands of the governors. This Committee will engage the Controller of Budget to ensure that the county assemblies are locked in the IFMIS system, and that funds available to them are directly remitted to their accounts so that they can exercise their independence."
