    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is a piece of information, but in line what Sen. Orengo just said. I am sure my Chairman picked this up. There seems to be a contradiction between provisions in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and a section of the Constitution that Sen. Orengo just read out. In the PFM Act, it was provided that there will be only one treasury at the county level. That Act is usually cited by the authorities and it is the one that guides them to take the money of the assemblies to the treasury of the county, which is controlled by the Executive. Mr. Speaker, Sir, would it be possible, before my Chairman presents this Statement, to make a solid recommendation of the unconstitutionality of the provisions of the PFM Act regarding the management of county finances, where the two arms of government in the county – the county assembly and the county executive – makes the assembly subordinate to the executive in financial management and, hence, contradict that section of the Constitution that Sen. Orengo has just referred to?"
