"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter and spirit of expectation of that particular provision in the Act was to ensure that the Minister of Finance is sequentially and cumulatively able to inform the country on a monthly basis how much has been collected in terms of expected revenues and how much has been disbursed to the implementing Ministries. The country needs to know on a month by month basis whether the budget is being followed and ensure that every Government department is allocated funds according to their budget. We do not want to see one Ministry receiving 90 per cent allocations while another one is receiving only 10 per cent. So, the Assistant Minister would be doing this House a great service if he can tell us whether they are meeting their revenue collection targets."

So, we disburse as we collect the taxes. It is not exactly as per the targets, but it varies according to collections. All in all, when you total them up, they meet the targets."

I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm whether he is satisfied with the level of details that he has been given. The Act says that the Minister should gazette a statement of actual revenues collected by category. However, if you look at the published statement under revenue, it shows revenue from taxation is lumped together with other revenues such as grants and loans. Is he satisfied that this level of information that we get is what was envisaged in the Fiscal Management Act?"

However, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that M/s Kenya Tanning Extract Company Limited ceased its operations on 31st December, 2008. The company had 34 employees. Of which 25, were unionisable. All their severance pay dues were calculated, but some declined to collect. (b) The former employees will be paid their dues once the case they have filed in the Industrial Court through their union, Kenya Chemical and Allied Workers Case No.695 (N 2009 ) is heard and determined. (c) The Ministry will not take any action since the company has already ceased operations and is willing to pay the uncollected balances of Kshs3,118,972. The matter is before the Industrial Court Case No. 695 (N 2009)."
