    "content": "Article 225(7) of the Constitution, within14 days of the decision, to stop the transfer. The decision was made on 19th November, 2019. Therefore, by 3rd December, 2019, the Controller of Budget is supposed to bring a report to Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Parliament is required, by a resolution of the two Houses, to either approve or reject the decision of the CS. As the decision to stop the transfer of funds is dated 19th November, 2019, Parliament is required to make a decision on or before 18th December, 2019. The approval by Parliament is predicated both on a consideration of the report of the Controller of Budget and any representations that will be made by the county governments affected by this decision, as contemplated under Article 225(5) of the Constitution. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee urges the Controller of Budget to expedite the investigation and submission of the report, as contemplated in the law. Further the Committee intends to give an opportunity to the affected county governments to answer to the allegations against it, and to state its case as contemplated under the Constitution. We will be seized of this matter and proceed with it as from next week, awaiting the report from the Controller of Budget, and then present a further report to this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to report."
