    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in raising my voice with regard to the way in which county governments are not following the laid down procedures to the extent that when the budget is done, they are tailor-made to certain projects which are not necessary in the counties. I have in mind when it is the end of the financial year like today, you will be surprised that every county government is quick to transfer money from every department to some very strange votes so that the money can be exhausted. I wonder what happened to the idea of participation by the county assemblies in budgeting. Every budget item must be spent. We also need to make sure that no money is returned to Nairobi. So, what is the hurry of taking money on small items like county bursaries which are controlled by one man, the Governor? We do not know how the money has been spent. We end up dishing out money and the county assembly is not aware. This practice has to stop."
