"content": "In Clause 8, there is a requirement that there will be no procurement three months to the elections and specifically from the development vote either at the national or at the county level unless authorised by the National Treasury. The Auditor-General’s reports that he has just released for 2016/2017 reveal that we had heavy expenditures when we were about to go for elections, which were incurred by governors at different counties. It is clearly pointing to the fact that people were looking for money to campaign. In a situation where we declare that three months to elections one cannot procure from the development vote, it is good for proper management of public resources. We need to support this clause because it is going to help this country to ensure resources are not being misdirected."
