    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is why we asked the Controller of Budget to get in touch with the Director of the IFMIS in order to determine the status of connectivity and activation of the IFMIS in all counties. So, we will have the report as soon as possible. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Prof.) Lesan asked about the issue of adequate funds and I have explained that. I want to make it clear to Senators that, that is our Committee’s determination. We have already done so but we will make it very clear again tomorrow so that Members can also appreciate; those who will be joining us. We want adequate funds to be provided to county assemblies so that they carry out their mandate completely unhindered; including the opportunity to travel, benchmark and do whatever is necessary so that they build their capacity. That is why the amounts proposed this year are significantly higher. The House will have an opportunity to review and settle on whatever ceilings it deems necessary. In this regard, for the remaining quarter, we have also made it clear that they must release adequate funds. Therefore, we have asked the CAF to get in touch and ensure that they get whatever they require to complete their work for the remaining period. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, all the other points raised by other Senators have been addressed. Therefore, I rest my case."
