    "content": "the Committee was unable to make a decision on the request by the national Treasury to stop the transfer of funds to the 15 county governments. Now that we are going to have a Controller of Budget, the Committee seeks your indulgence and, indeed, the indulgence of this House for more time to consider this matter and comprehensively report back to this House. I think the long and short of the Statement is that we were unable as a Committee to make a decision because the constitutional provision of Article 225(7) is that we should have a report from the Controller of Budget. The fact that there was no substantive holder in that office, we were not able to obtain that Report. So, constitutionally, we may not proceed to make a decision. Therefore, the import of it is that the request by the national Treasury stands not approved since a decision has not been made."
