    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issues that have been raised by Sen. Sakaja are very serious. This is a violation of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. I want to assure Sen. Sakaja that the Committee that I sit in will take up this matter and we will invite the Governor of Nairobi City County to appear before us tentatively around 16th or 17th May, 2019. This is a very serious matter because the method used by the county governments to identify or give authority to people to collect money on their behalf is normally flawed and it violates the PFM Act. The PFM Act states that all money collected by these agencies should be sent directly to the County Revenue Account. In Nairobi City County, you hear that the county has only declared the money that was collected via Jambo pay platform and failed to disclose the revenue collected through their 26 other Mpesa pay bill numbers. This is a serious crisis. This is a matter that we have to take seriously. I hope that the Senators who are hearing this can look at their own counties so as to see if certain traits are being dealt with."
