    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, just as you said earlier on, this amendment was taking away the power of Parliament, namely, the National Assembly and the Senate in terms of Vote on Account by providing that the Government can withdraw money without Parliamentary approval on Vote on Account. Clause 14 states that in case there is a delay in terms of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill being passed by county assemblies, county governments can withdraw money on Vote on Account without the approval of county assemblies. This should be deleted, so that assemblies at both levels approve Vote on Account even before the funds are withdrawn. We need to delete it because it dilutes the power of the assemblies. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
