    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in noting that the meeting for tomorrow is quite important and it is in line with our role as Senators in Article 96(3) where the Senate determines allocation of national revenue among counties as provided in Article 217 and also exercises oversight over national revenue allocated to the county governments. This is our work and, therefore, every Senator has to attend because we need to be looking at the way revenue allocation to counties is done once in a while and should there be partners who want to join in beefing up and making sure that counties are funded properly, we are the House that needs to interrogate and look at how that can be done. We also need to take stock of how the money that we have been releasing to counties has been spent. Issues have emerged and I think Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o, the Chairman of CPAIC will present in a short while the audit reports of counties that have been discussed. You will be surprised at how some of the monies have been utilized. It is true we need to meet so that we can give appropriate directions and warnings on how this money is being spent."
