Members to the use of the word, “Parliament” which refers to both the National Assembly and the Senate. Remember that the Senate is the guardian of the county government.

• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want the Minister to clarify Clause 129(7) about this County Appropriation Bill for the approval of the estimates. It says it should be upon the approval of the Budget Estimates. Why is it not reading the same as for the national Government? view
