4 May 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one proposal I would like to make is where it says that responsibilities for the national Government Accounting officers to set conditions for transfers and monitor compliance. I would like one of the conditions that should be set by this civil servant if I was in his position is that, when this money goes to the county treasury, it should not take more than two weeks before it is transferred to the Treasury or the referral facilities.

Thereafter, the referral facilities, since they were previously managed by the national Government, should have regulations from the Ministry of Health on how to periodically account for this money to the county government.

6. The future unsustainability of flagship projects initiated by the county government including the hatcheries was uncertain because the projects were initiated without proper feasibility studies and the necessary framework for sustaining the projects. Some of the hatcheries were found not to be in use one year after their issue. Some are congested in one room with no security at all and others in private homes.
