    "content": "I wish that Sen. Kihika would listen because I know that her County has the same problem or this is also a problem that is affecting other counties. The question many Nairobi residents are asking is why and where is the money going? The only revenue declared is that of Jambo pay of Kshs8.3 billion yet there are 26 other Mpesa paybills whose revenue was not declared. It is important to note that only Kshs1.4 billion out of a budget of Kshs33.6 billion that was passed by the County Assembly was used on development activities. The rest was used on recurrent expenditure. I wish that the Committee on County Public Accounts and Investment can look at the famous confidential budget account of Kshs96 million allocated to the office of the Governor.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
