    "content": "Clause 39 of the Bill proposes to amend Section 126 of the Act so as to provide a linkage plan being referred to Section 125. For you to understand this amendment, it is important that the Office of the Clerk provides the principal Act to members. You need to look at both the principal Act and the amendment. The amendment under Clause 39 proposes to extend time to allow county governments to prepare their annual development plans. I want to pick on the key highlights. The Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill of 2015 is firmly anchored on Article 201 of the Constitution. That Article gives effect to the principles of public finance as enshrined under the Constitution. In particular, the Bill provides for openness, accountability and public participation, which is missing in the county governments. I am sure many of us, including Hon. Jakoyo, do not want to become governors. However, we appropriate money on behalf of the people of Kenya. We play a key role and must follow each and every penny that goes to the people of Kenya and account for it.
