Muthama","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":96,"legal_name":"Johnson Nduya Muthama","slug":"johnson-muthama"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Chairperson for giving us truthful answers that will help this House. The Chairperson should try as much as possible to consult with the Cabinet Secretary and come out clearly to state why governors are diverting money, which is transferred by the National Treasury, to different banks accounts. For example, Machakos County has five accounts in Chase Bank; Kisii County has more than six counties and Nyandarua has got more than seven bank accounts. Why does the National Treasury allow this? Funds are being squandered and stolen in the counties. We need to arrest this situation so that we can control the funds."}
