    "content": "Regulation 54 of the Public Finance Management (National Government) Regulations, 2015 also provides that: “Except as provided for in the Act and these regulations, an accounting officer of an entity may not authorise payment to be made out of funds earmarked for a specific activity for purposes other than those activities.” Further, the Committee observed that some projects initiated by CDF committees prior to the enactment of NG-CDF Act, 2015 and which are now categorised as devolved functions remain stalled to date. The reason is that NG-CDF was supporting devolved functions such as provision of dispensaries and construction of roads in the counties. Some of the constituencies have stalled those projects they had initiated before this Act. After the enactment of the NG-CDF Act, 2016, it has not been possible to allocate money to those projects again because they are devolved. That is what the Committee observed. We came up with suggestions on what should be done to that effect. It was further observed that there was poor monitoring and evaluation of projects in some instances which occasioned a rise in project implementation costs."
