    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the other part is reporting and oversight which gives the county assembly, so to speak, the power to make sure that the executive complies with this law. I am saying this taking into account that currently the county assembly has limited leeway in terms of changing the budgets of the executive. They can only change, if I am not wrong, 1 per cent. So, that is not changing. If you can only change 1 per cent of a budget, then you are not changing anything. But with this kind of a law, then you have a way of holding the executive to account; that if they do not follow that, then you cannot approve the budget. If they did not follow this law by giving at least 15 per cent to the roads, then you will have the power now not to approve that budget. So, that gives the county assembly more powers and more say in making sure that the budget is equitable and covers the whole county irrespective of which part of the county especially in multi-ethnic counties where we come from"
