    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the reason why we need to seek more clarity on this matter is that it will unravel one of the mysteries which has baffledSenators for quite a long time. The mystery is, how governors manage to find a “bypass”. We all understand that a county treasury is organised in such a way that before any funds are drawn, they are committed through a budgeting process. Any time there is expenditure, it is from a particular vote. For a long time, we have been wondering how governors manage to get through this, likely on paper, very stringent process and ensure that they get some money off the county treasury, which we see them distributing in various harambees over the weekends. I think if we pursue this matter properly and know how they were able to draw, for example, this Kshs20 million from Kericho County, then it will lead us to a position where we can get answers. We may even get to know the other places that money has been drawn from, yet there was no budgetary allocation. It will be very important to get that clarification."
