    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will proceed. 3. The county government spent considerable amount of funds at the tail end of the financial year. This was attributed to the late disbursement by the National Treasury and the challenges that came with the closure of a financial year. This trend was uncalled for and may have resulted in unnecessary delays in the implementation of projects. 4. The establishment of offices in the county government was not driven by proper needs assessment and necessity for service delivery but on convenience and the urge to employ people. 5. There were unsubstantiated claims of malpractices in the recruitment of staff. Anonymous members of the public had alleged that some county government officials had employed their relatives in the same departments they supervise. The county government refuted the allegations. However, it was observed too that the rule in the Constitution and the County Governments Act that at least 30 per cent of employees in a county government should be from outside the county is not frequently observed in many counties. This injures the provision in the Constitution that requires that in any Government institution, the diversity of the people of Kenya must be represented. This is good for national integration and cohesion."
