    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is time for us, as Senators, to ask ourselves: After a budget is passed by a county, how shall it have a relationship with the amount that is allocated to that county by the Senate? Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we had the last meeting of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) with all chairpersons of Public Accounts Committees in the county assemblies, one of the issues that came out so prominently is that not less than 10 counties out of 47 counties reported that the budget that was implemented by the county executive is not the one that was passed by the county assemblies. Whenever a budget is passed by the county assembly, the executive withdraws it and implements another one. These are issues that must be addressed by this House, to ensure that we have a system that will hold county governments, especially the county executive, to account on how they implement their budgets. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
