    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. My real reason why I support this is the allegation by these MCAs that the budget estimates did not adhere to the ceilings adopted by the Assembly in the Fiscal Strategic Paper. If this is true, then there is every reason for us to do what they are asking. However, in all fairness, let us remember that under this Constitution, the county government is only required by law and that clause reads “May”. It does not say: “shall refer to the county assembly”. So, let us not move and attempt to stop disbursement of funds because it must be seen to be material and repeated according to the Constitution. Until this is demonstrated to us, it will be dangerous for us to agree with the first prayer that we stop disbursement of funds. Otherwise, I wish the Governor of Garissa County very well. I hope that he will solve this without having us go through the route of Makueni."
