Parliament's Budget and Appropriations Committee says this is because the county functions were transferred to the national government mid financial year 2019-20. The Minority Leader says the Treasury must be held to account to explain how the allocation for the transferred functions will be overseen by Parliament. “Maybe, the National Assembly will have to oversee it because the Senate cannot oversee funds that are being spent by the national government,” Mbadi said. The puzzle of who will be overseeing that money comes in the face of the impossibility of the Nairobi county assembly overseeing money appropriated from the National Assembly. Nairobi county has undergone unprecedented changes, with Kenya Revenue Authority taking over collections.
