    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry raises substantial revenue as Appropriations-in-Aid (A-in-A). Under the Recurrent Expenditure, it is expected that Kshs174,937,217 will be raised against Kshs197,179,040 that the Ministry is requesting from the Treasury. In Development Expenditure, it is expected that Kshs9, 821,534,090 will be raised in addition to Kshs20,819,111,700 that is being requested from Treasury. In total, almost Kshs10 billion will be raised by the Ministry. These funds raised under the A-in-A are part of the Consolidated Fund. If you look at Section 99 of the Constitution, you will realize that these are the funds that the Ministry should spend expeditiously. However, the Committee noted that the Ministry is allocating funds to profitable State corporations such as the Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) and the National Oil Company of Kenya (NOCK). The Committee recommends that instead of such allocations, the Government should guarantee loans to such corporations in future to ensure that the management works hard to repay such loans and remain profitable."
