    "content": "On a point of order Mr. Speaker Sir. With due respect to the Senate Majority Leader, honestly, this matter lies with the Chairperson of Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. He asked for a time limit that all of us feel is too long. The fact that the governors sat at IBEC and did not raise the issue of finances does not make it any less important than it is. There are counties in this country, including mine, where people are starving. You cannot tell Kenyans to wait for another three weeks for finances to be availed or be told why there are no finances. It reminds me that in the last Session of this House, I raised an issue of security and the same game was played here. We went for recess without that answer being given. I call upon the Office of the Speaker to rein in this Chairman and make sure that answers to important issues affecting our counties are responded to within the shortest period of time possible. Thank you."
