    "content": "National revenue is all national revenue whether spent at the national or county level. Therefore, the National Assembly has a responsibility to oversee national revenue whether spent at the national Government or at county government level. The Senate only overlaps with us at the county governments. What am I saying hon. Speaker? What I am saying is that this House has a responsibility to oversee the expenditure of both the national Government and the county governments. I have looked at the PFM Act and I wanted to bring an amendment at one time. I wanted the PFM Act to make it a condition for this House to give a timeline to debate the reports that come from the Controller of Budget. This is because a lot of information that comes from there is on paper, but you cannot see it on the ground or in actual sense, as hon. Abdikadir has said. If you carry out a value-for-money audit today, you will realise that some of the figures where it is indicated that some counties have spent 38 per cent and others have just spent 2 per cent on development are not true. You may realise that those that have spent 2 per cent on development are probably the only ones that have spent money on development, while the ones that are on paper as having spent 38 per cent on development have only figures on paper."
