    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on county expenditures, the total approved county budgets for the Financial Year 2017/2018 amounted to Kshs410 billion; made up of Kshs271 billion (66 per cent) for recurrent expenditure and Kshs139.81 billion (34 per cent) for development expenditure. In aggregate terms, this level of approval complied with the fiscal rules, stipulating that 30 per cent of the total county allocation is towards development. However, the actual county expenditures performance translated to only 74 per cent of the approved budget. That is lack of absorption. The expenditure level is also lower compared to the previous financial years, 2016/2017 and 2015/2016. Only 74 per cent of the budget has been utilized."
