    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order on the continued misinformation. I am sure that most of the Senators who are contributing are aware about the facts. Once we pass the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, the money goes into the accounts of the counties. That is why the issue of how much has been withdrawn arises. So, when you hear the explanation that this and that county has got so much, it is on the basis of how much they have withdrawn. When we pass that Bill in this House, we normally get a schedule. The last schedule we passed here had the amounts that were going to counties. We are the ones who approved that schedule which showed where the money went. So, when the schedule is passed, that money will go in to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) account of that particular county. It is only the permission to withdraw that this counties seek from the Controller of Budget. The money is held there, but for them to withdraw it, they have to get permission from the Controller of Budget, by presenting documentation that will satisfy that the previous amounts withdrawn were accounted for and used properly. Once we allow this back and forth between The National Super Alliance (NASA) and Jubilee Party--- I agree with everybody here that we are pursuing and prosecuting a very important point, but let it be guided by the law and the procedures we have set."
