    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am going there. The Principal Secretary (PS), through the Chairman has acknowledged that the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) do not allow county governments to enter into commitments without the necessary budgetary provisions. Now that you know that they have gone into commitments, what steps will you take because they are already in those commitments? Another clarification that I am seeking is; you have said that their Kshs30 billion is lying at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), where you suspect that this could be the money that should be paid to suppliers. What penalty is the National Treasury meting out on this people who are lazy counties? If there are such counties which do not exhaust their money, could it be a reason where the Senate should dig deeper? We may be giving counties money that they cannot spend."
