    "content": "There is need for the county assemblies to establish county budget offices. In Parliament, we have the benefit of a Parliamentary Budget Office which was born out of the realization that elected Members are not necessarily experts in budget, economic and financial matters. We now have a specialized public budget office which is protected by the PFM Act. Counties do not have that benefit and we need to think of legislating, coming up with regulations or building the capacity of counties for them to establish their own budget offices. They should not just come up with budget offices but they should also have an audit and oversight office. That will help them have experts who will help them in the budget process. They will also have investigators, forensics people and analysts who can guide them in the audit process."
