    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the fifth general observation we found was the recurrent problem of under-expenditure and under-collection of Appropriations-in- Aid. To this end, A-i-A collected during the year under review amounted to Kshs42 billion against an estimated receipt of Kshs60.7 billion, resulting in a deficit of over Kshs18 billion that amounts to approximately 31 per cent of the estimated sum. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our Committee was also concerned by the failure by Ministries to fulfill donor conditions. This could be as a result of negligence and inefficiency by officers responsible for overseeing the projects implementation. The Committee noted that the Government, through the Ministry of Finance and in conjunction with all development partners has prepared, finalized and submitted for Cabinet approval, the external policy document. The policy document is aimed at streamlining the whole process of management of Official Development Assistance, popularly known as ODA. Our Committee recommends that the Government should ensure that the shortcomings noted in the under-expenditure and under-collection of A- in-A is resolved once and for all. The Committee further recommends that the Permanent Secretary should liaise with both the donors and respective implementing Ministries to ensure that projects are implemented and completed as scheduled."
