    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was also recommended that the counties that had already awarded their tenders should renegotiate the contract with a view to adjusting the contract sum. We have been following up on this matter and a lot of information has been coming to us, especially from the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works. Apparently, they are unable to move and the office of the Controller of Budget is not releasing funds on those projects because it is going by our guidelines. The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works requested the Committee to give guidance, since some counties have already commenced their projects. Some of them are at an advanced stage and their budgets were way above the provided limits. The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) also wrote to us, asking us to give guidance, while at the same time saying that counties should be sticking to the recommendations given by the Senate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee is looking at the requests coming from various counties. We have received submissions from West Pokot, Mandera, Kwale, Meru and Marsabit county assemblies."
