For instance, of the four agencies that my Committee oversees that is, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of East Africa Community and Regional Development and the National Intelligence, two of them, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Regional Development Authority under the Ministry of East Africa Community, the Appropriations-in-Aid approximation has been overstated. If you take, for instance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which is Vote 1052, they are anticipating that it will collect Kshs550 billion from Appropriations-in-Aid. The only source of Appropriations-in-Aid here is the issuance of visas.
