    "content": "The last point that I have is about the end of the financial years. I do not know whether that is how it works. It is simply unworkable when offices close, bank accounts are closed and you cannot access money that we can use for official work. Women representatives have the Affirmative Action Fund. My last experience last month was terrible. I had functions and the Cabinet Secretary was coming to my county. I needed to use some money from that account to facilitate her coming and do other activities in preparation for the visit. It was literally impossible to access money from the bank because it was at the end of the financial year. Please make sure that even if it is the end of the financial year, money should be accessed. They close the accounts for months. Up to now, it is closed. I do not know for how long it will be closed. That means that we also have to stop working. What was I supposed to do when the CS was coming? It forced me to borrow money all over the place. It looks very ugly and dirty for a Government officer to come and yet, there are no funds to facilitate her coming because of the end of financial year. It can be improved."
