    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, several county governments have recently complained on delayed disbursement of shareable revenue and other dues by the national Government. The delays have allegedly caused the county governments to default on their statutory obligations and commitments. The delays have disrupted implementation of planned activities by both the county executives and assemblies. These delays are said to have led to an accumulation of pending bills on the part of the county governments. In this context, I request the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget to:- (1) Give a schedule covering the period 1st July 2014 and 30thOctober 2015, showing the dates when the disbursements were due to be made and when they were actually made. (2) Explain the reasons for the delay, if any. (3) State what plans the National Treasury has put in place to guarantee prompt disbursement of dues to county governments considering that these funds are critical and a prerequisite to performance at both levels of Government. Thank you."
