    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine will be brief. I would like to get a clarification on how the money is incorporated in the budget of the counties. Budget making in the counties begins by public participation where people present their views on what needs to be done. After that, the executive sits down and comes up with a budget which is later interrogated by the county assembly. So, at what point do these contributions come in? I am also wondering whether this kitty has been set aside by the governors to get funds to facilitate the next elections. This is a lot of money. In Kajiado County, for example, for the last three years, almost Kshs19 million has been spent. They have spent this money yet there is a ward called Mosiro which is in need of water. It is just the other day that we got a single borehole in a ward with almost 10,000 people. It is a very dry area. I believe that with the Kshs19 million, we could have sunk another six boreholes to solve the water problem. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would also be good to know how the Controller of Budget allowed the withdrawal of that money. I believe that before they are allowed to have that money, they make a request through the Controller of Budget. Therefore, how does she allow that to happen?"
