It would be very negligent on the part of this House if we were to go ahead and create a Fund in this manner without creating structures for managing it. The funds we are talking about are big funds. We are talking of funds in the range of Kshs2.5 billion to Kshs3 billion a year. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is an attempt to cannibalize the Treasury. This is a way of mutilating the Treasury. The Constitution says that all revenues shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund. If we have to move away from that it is important that, that be brought up substantively. Secondly, if we allow this trend of cutting the arteries that feed the Consolidated Fund, then eventually we will not remain"
