    "content": "Hon. Members, Kshs13.7 billion was not included in the Supplementary Estimates earlier. The Board, in its wisdom, used part of the Kshs28 billion to pay the constituencies that had arrears. Just for your records, arrears of Kshs15.67 billion in the 2019/2020 Financial Year have been disbursed out of the Kshs28 billion meant for this year. Another Kshs742 million was also disbursed in respect of arrears of previous years because there are Members who had not claimed their monies for previous years. Kshs16.4 billion that relates to Kshs41 billion for this year has been paid to cover arrears for previous year. However, we have not authorized it. We have to do it within the framework of 2.2.3. First of all, we will rectify that and also top-up our money to reinstate it to Kshs41 billion this year because part of it has now gone to previous years. If we do not do that, we will remain with Kshs41 billion which has to be divided between what has gone in arrears and the balance for this year. The National Treasury saw the light and said that they would give us back our money, which is Kshs13 billion and pay it all this year."
