"content": "If we look at the audited books of accounts as at 2014/2015, which this House has approved - and we are calling upon the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to fast-track the review of all the accounts, so that we can move on - we are aware the Auditor-General has submitted reports up to past 2014/2015. We need the PAC to do their job. As per the law, we are required to give counties a 15 per cent minimum threshold as provided in the Constitution. So, if you look at the Kshs316.5 billion, it is already 30.4 per cent allocation to the counties. That is already double the amount provided in the Constitution. I do not want to belabour this point because I know Members are already aware of where we are headed. After taking these important factors into consideration, the Budget and Appropriations Committee urges this House to reject these recommendations by the Senate and allow both Houses to proceed into mediation on this. With those remarks, I ask Hon. Makali Mulu to second."
