    "content": "When I sought an explanation and further information at the county level, there was nothing available. I asked in the Office of the Controller of Budget and there was no information. The Leader of the Majority Party has pointed to the right direction, that this Report must be committed to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Those of us who have queries should be given adequate time in terms of sharing and sitting before the Controller of Budget, who must be able to produce evidence of every piece of expenditure that is written in that Report. Article 228 of the Constitution, which the hon. Leader of the Majority Party has directed us to also requires the Controller of Budget to ensure and oversee the implementation of the county and national budgets. While the national Budget is very much above board and we see it line by line, there is no evidence of expenditure by some county governments. We have evidence of deviation from the budgets of our own counties. I have evidence of deviation from the budget that was approved by the County Assembly of Garissa, and the money was instead used on other things. Approved projects were not implemented. What is the Controller of Budget doing about these issues? This is a substantive issue and we seek your direction on it. Thank you."
