    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to ride on that answer on the question to, probably, seek your advice on how you would want us to express ourselves on this matter as the Senate. We are already aware that the disbursement of these funds to the counties happens in tranches. So, if for example, we have allocated to the Kiambu County, Kshs5.4 billion, it will not be disbursed in one go as Kshs5.4 billion. It has been accepted maybe silently even by the Senate. When this money has been released in batches, it is also conditional that once this batch has gone, for the next one to go, there has to be reconciliations which have been done by the receiving county as to how that amount has been spent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are two sides of the coin to the same argument. As a Senate, we have also been very clear that we want our county governments to adapt efficient, professional and sound systems of administering these funds. Sometimes this question – because we may trash the criteria set by the Treasury, especially that argument The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
