    "content": "Having said that, I agree that the manner in which the Bill seeks to deal with loopholes is extremely relevant because we want to ensure prudent management of resources. We are therefore going to close all the gaps that concern overdrafts, procurement and abuse of public resources three months to elections or related to elections to ensure we deal with monitoring of non-financial issues. That, indeed, will ensure we have clarity in regard to waivers and who has authority to do that. However, I am a bit concerned that as we debate, we seem to be looking much more at the county governments. On our Budget of Kshs3.1 trillion, I have had the occasion to sit here with my senior, Hon. Bunyasi, and observed that Kshs2.7 trillion remains with the national Government. As we look at these amendments, I hope we remember the systems we want that would guarantee openness, prudent management of resources and ensure we bring an end to abuse of public resources. It is not at the county governments that only we have had these challenges."
