    "content": "This is because the Intergovernmental Relations Act makes it clear that the CoG is an institution that shall be funded from the Consolidated Fund, and not from the County Revenue Fund. If you go across those 20 counties, you will find that in cases where a county made nugatory payments to the CoG, we have recommended – not just the CEC Finance, but also the governor, as the Chief Executive Officer – to be held responsible for those payments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other risk that you will find across all those counties is the issue of identification of assets owned by the defunct local authorities. You have provided leadership to this House in the last Parliament, when you were discussing the status of the Transition Authority (TA). They left office without completing the job that had been entrusted to them. We are currently looking at a very dangerous situation. We are talking about all the assets of defunct local authorities. You can imagine all the land that used to be held by the Nairobi City Council; all the primary schools; all the hospitals and all the other assets that the defunct authorities were holding across the country. These include prime lake property in Homa Bay and Kisumu, prime real estate assets in places like Mombasa, and things like motor vehicles. Up to date, we have not concluded the process of identifying and transferring these assets. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
