    "content": "Clause 6 gives the Controller of Budget power to control how the expenditure is going to be made. It requires him or her to report to the National Assembly. Clause 6 says:- “The Controller of Budget shall, in accordance with Article 228 of the Constitution, submit to Parliament quarterly budget implementation reports for the national and county governments within thirty days after the end of each quarter.” Therefore, it will not be just an issue of him or her. We, as Members of Parliament, shall also be involved in monitoring. Every quarter, the occupier of this office, by law, shall submit reports to this House. Therefore, we will have an opportunity to interrogate and understand what has been spent. We will find out if the Executive has burst the ceiling in that quarter. We will interrogate that expenditure and also put some measures. If a particular ministry has burst the ceiling, we will have a say whether to give it more money in the next quarter or not. I look at this Bill with lots of sobriety and anxiousness. Let it sail through immediately."
