    "content": "Concern has also been raised in respect of the former Ministry of Medical Services, the former Ministry of Roads and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) touching on expenditure amounting to Kshs758,946,416. Attention has also been drawn to the former Ministry of Immigration and Registration of Persons for expenditure running to over Kshs2 billion. In respect of financial year 2010/2011, attention has been drawn to the following big issues, growth of the public debt. This is particularly significant given that today we approved in this House Government’s request to raise the debt ceiling. The Committee is calling attention to the very real risk of indiscriminate and uncontrolled borrowing which is leading to very sharp rise in the public debt. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, attention is also drawn to the Ministry of Internal Security in respect of undelivered motor vehicles, diversion of transit goods and failure to collect revenue. The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) features again in this report; this time it is in respect, specifically, to Ikolomani Constituency. There is also the issue of Government shareholding in companies where the Committee has raised certain concerns. In respect of the financial year 2012/2013, the Committee has drawn the attention of this House to five big issues. Those issues include the following; one is the question of confidential expenditure amounting to Kshs2.8billion.
