    "content": "and approved by the relevant county assemblies in each case? If so, could he also clarify to the House the criteria for these contributions? When you look at Nairobi County, the largest county with the largest revenue base has contributed Kshs 11million. Lamu County the smallest county that receives the least allocation of resources has contributed Kshs 15million. How do you explain enormous contributions from impoverished counties like Turkana Country that contributed Kshs 58million? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Meru County has contributed a whooping Kshs 44million. It is the second highest after Turkana County. How do you explain Bungoma County that sent Kshs 17million and I am sure it has not been approved by the county assembly? Others like Laikipia County contributed Kshs 4million and Machakos with all its challenges contributed only Kshs 340, 000. Is the participation of Machakos County in the activities of Council of governors equal to Turkana and Meru County? Bomet and Embu counties have contributed Kshs 28 million and Kshs29 million respectively. When you look at this, you cannot help to conclude that this could be a conduit for siphoning funds from counties. The counties that have had challenges of a legal nature have put in more money. Is this a process of paying legal fees to lawyers through the Council of Governors? May I request the Chair that after the Chairperson has given an answer; you direct that a forensic audit on how these funds left the counties to the Council of Governors be carried out. Under what budget items are they accounted for?"
