    "content": "mechanisms to have money intended for a particular purpose diverted to Recurrent Expenditure. I will particularly say this about Nakuru County. People say that there is a very high wage bill and counties continue to employ; you miss the point they are explaining. If money has been set aside for development, then it must go to development, and that development should be done according to the percentage given in the Budget. This is what will increase growth of the economy and the counties in general. Therefore, not only should we check corruption but should also check wastage and diversion of money. I am told that in the public financial management regulations, where we use the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), the Budget Controller should specifically ensure that whatever money has been voted to a particular Vote is spent on that Vote. Unfortunately, a lot of supplementary budgets have been allowed, more so at the county level. Today we had a committee sitting where we saw some supplementary budget proposals by counties seeking to relocate money from one direction to another. That is where, as Parliament, we need to come in very effectively and be able to take care of such issues."
