    "content": "Okay, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you can check the record. I rise to support this Bill because the Office of the Controller of Budget is an important institution in this country. Given the fact that we are dealing with the new Constitution - it is fairly new since it has not been there before--- Since the counties are new, they have no experience in terms of budget. We are, therefore, looking at an institution that is going to govern the way we spend money that has been allocated in the Budget. This office is going to help this country to rein in on the Executive, be it at the national or county level. Nobody is going to spend money that has not been budgeted for. It is in order for this Parliament to give more clout and more finances so that they can monitor the expenditure that is at both the county and national levels and ensure that we do not have the Executive deciding to spend what was not budgeted for by this Parliament. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
