    "content": "who come from the less privileged sections of our community like Kibera but pay tax. They all want to see transformation in their lives. As we pass this law, Governors must also realise that they were elected to give services to their people. They must ensure that they respect the rule of law and the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. The most important thing is to have tolerance; be able to sit at the table with the CRA and the CoB, not when the county is in bad shape, but before things get out of hand so as to come up with solutions. From there, you will also give time for consultations. No county should be closed because of issues related to resources. They should not just complain about the ceilings but tell us how they have spent the resources they were given and we can sit down and agree on the way forward because with finances, you lobby. Even we in Government do some lobbying. You can go and discuss with the Treasury and lobby so that it is included in the Supplementary Budget. The same can apply to the county governments. If you decide not to have consultations and you want things to work your way, some of them will not work. There are many ways of negotiating and finding solutions. I would like to call upon them to use the Senate to negotiate with the Treasury. They are welcome to the Senate any time they need guidance. They could also approach the CRA and negotiate with them. The Clerks and the CECs in charge of finance in the county assemblies should not imagine that they are governors of the Treasury but CECs for finance overseeing the budget that is passed by the county assemblies. I support."
