Elachi","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13115,"legal_name":"Beatrice Elachi","slug":"beatrice-elachi"},"content":"Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want both the Governor’s side and the County Assembly to clearly give clarity to the people to tell them because four months down the line you have not done your budget, you have not done your appropriation and we are now in September. When will this county start its work? How will you ensure all your workers, especially your health workers are not going to go on strike? Secondly, the Governor to explain to us what happened to the CEC of Finance who was from the Treasury and therefore definitely he was a competent person at that time. Was it issues of mismanagement? Can he explain to us and also to the Nyeri people to understand and indeed to look at the Public Service Act and realise that you are not supposed to be acting more than three months? So, what are you going to do with all your officers who are acting? If they go to court definitely, they will be heard and you will have to explain. Lastly, is on the issue of utilising your local revenue at source. I know the Controller of Budget talked about this but it is something that we need clarity so that no one will blame the institution of Senate that indeed Kshs70 million was either in the budget of 2014/2015 and you had appropriated it to do something. That is why it was carried forward to come and deal with issues of 2015/2016 or indeed the money was used at source. You must help this Senate to clarify that or else Kenyans will believe indeed Kshs70 million was misappropriated. Thank you."}
