    "content": "Another matter that concerns me is that, as of 23rd February, 800,000, many Kenyans applied for passports and paid fees amounting to up to Ksh2 billion and yet, we are told that the reason why they have not received their passports is due to lack of booklets. If that particular State Department is raising so much revenue from passport applications, why is there a delay in receiving them? That does not make sense at all. I also want to raise my concerns regarding the timelines that given to State departments to balance out the requirements by June of this year. I will be very interested that time to see whether that has happened. As I conclude, I feel that our State departments are acting like cost centres. We are not getting a sense of how they are being innovative in raising their own source revenue. Our State departments are increasingly becoming cost centres because they depend on budget allocations. What are we doing as a country? What are the sources of own source revenue that we should look at?"
