    "content": "the House Business Committee to bring back this Bill so that the Third Reading can proceed quickly and we make sure that this Bill becomes law as soon as possible. The message by Hon. Members to county governments on overdrafts and borrowing needs to be captured clearly. The National Assembly is not giving a license to county government to borrow money or take overdrafts. What we are doing is to protect Government resources by asking our governors to act in accordance with the law in matters funds. The Assembly will be looking at the Appropriations-in-Aid because our governors continue to collect revenue in the counties which they do not account for nor submit to the national kitty. There should be laws and modalities on how that revenue should be spent by county governments. The House agrees today that it is, indeed, important that execution of proceedings in the county governments be conducted in the same way as it is done at the National Assembly. On a personally note, I am very happy that I have had a good day. In the morning we had the Access to the Information Bill, which was well supported by the House. In the afternoon, we had this Bill from the Senate and we are truly happy on a good day’s job well done. Hon. Speaker, I beg to reply on the issues that have been raised by Hon. Members."
