    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I rise to support this Bill. It is very important because it aligns the Act with the Constitution. Of essence is the fact that this Bill is proposing to seal some of the loopholes in the existing Act that allow misuse of public funds, especially by county governments. The other area which I find very interesting is Clause 5, which proposes the opportunity for the Budget Office to provide capacity to county assemblies. Most of our county assemblies do not have capacity to provide appropriate oversight of the county governments. In most cases, it appears as if county assemblies and the Executive are so close that one is not able to provide either oversight or capacity. We have seen this in several occasions in Meru County. This allows a lot of misuse of the resources."
