    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking Hon. Duale for moving this Bill. The area of public finance in this country is very important. That is why in the Constitution there is a whole chapter on Public Finance. This is Chapter 12. At the same time, the issue of public finance makes both the CORD and Jubilee to work very hard to be in Government because while in the Government you are able to control public finances. These amendments are very important to this country. We have implemented the Public Finance Management Act since 2012. That is about three years of implementation. For the county governments, we started in 2013 after the general elections, which is about two-and-a- half years of implementation. Since I do not have as much time as the Mover, I just want to pick some of the highlights which will help us move forward in terms of improving public finance. Under Clause 7 of this Bill, the amendment tries to make sure that the 30 per cent requirement for the Development Vote is maintained for the national Government. Surprisingly, it deletes that requirement for the county government. This is a serious omission. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
