    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 46 (2)(b). The Statement would ordinarily have been sought from the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to deliberately direct this request to the Senate Majority Leader because I know that the Committees have not been fully constituted. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No. 46 (2) (b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Senate Majority Leader in relation to the status of disbursement of funds to county governments for the Financial Year 2017/2018. The Division of Revenue Bill was assented to on 21st June 2017. In the Statement, the Chairperson should: (1)Explain the reasons for failure by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury to gazette the disbursement schedule for counties in time as provided for in the law. (2) Explain the reasons for the late disbursement of funds to the counties for the month of August and September which have not been disbursed up to date, contrary to the law. (3) Explain the measures the Government has put in place to cushion counties from the resultant cash crunch."
