    "content": "Chairperson of the Committee to push that in the National Treasury. That will help us to move. We cannot shut down the counties, yet we know that the money is there. This can also be a lesson for the future because our assumption, in this House, was that without DORA, the national Government would also shut down. However, we have seen that they were able to wiggle their way out and are now spending from the same account. I support what my colleagues have said. We should have a vote on account and suggest that our Chairperson goes to the National Treasury and insists on 50 per cent of last year’s allocation. This is because it is a known figure and they do not have to discuss it, although last year’s allocation was also chopped by Kshs9 billion. I am sure that the 50 per cent will take us far. In future, we have to sit and look for ways of surmounting such challenges. I support the Statement that has been given by the Chairperson. Let us seek for an avenue through the vote on account from the National Treasury."
