    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in addition to the question asked by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, and I think he borrowed heavily from my statement earlier. The Intergovernmental Relations Act provides clearly that the CoG shall be funded through resources allocated by the National Treasury. We want to find out how much was allocated to the CoG. Is there financial overlap where counties are allocating money to the CoG against the law while at the same time there is an allocation from the National Treasury? That will help us appreciate how much is being spent and for what. We want a breakdown of how much was paid for exaggerated legal representation and so forth. The committee chair should come up with a comprehensive answer in terms of budgeting and expenditure of CoG in relation to various items. In particular, we are interested in these suits against other institutions of oversight that are basically done in fulgurous and vexatious manner. I believe, as Senior Counsel Sen. Orengo agreed with me, that there has been a lot of misuse of legal processes as a conduit for siphoning public resources."
