    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the two citizens from Nyamira County who are definitely vigilant and have shown interest in ensuring that the county resources are managed in a prudent manner so that services can be delivered to the people. Violation of procurement law and regulations is not restricted to Nyamira alone but is happening in all the counties. We know cases where tenders are awarded and payment effected and the procedures are followed afterwards. This is completely irregular. I am sure the citizens from Nyamira are referring to those kinds of incidents. We have also seen large amounts of un-surrendered imprests owed to the counties by members of staff. This is a clear violation of the Financial Management Law. We would like these cases to be investigated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the two citizens have made reference to allowances which are paid to Members of County Assembly and other members of staff and unauthorized persons also receive these allowances. They do not account for them and in many cases, where they are supposed to make official travels to various destinations, they collect they allowances, they never travel and nobody holds them accountable. I support the position taken by my friend, Sen. Khaniri, that these matters should be investigated by the appropriate Committee and this House should encourage citizens The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
