Among the items listed in the said Bill and which the Assembly was requested to approve was an amount of Kshs221 million for the purchase of 72 vehicles to be utilized by a single department of the county government; (2) That the county assembly considered the Bill and facilitated public participation during which Kiambu County residents submitted their views, key among which was the reduction of the number of vehicles to be purchased following which the Budget Committee of the assembly recommended the reduction of the vehicles from 72 to 15.
