    "content": "itemized. Those are the issues that remain to be delved in before the World Bank can make its final documentation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this, they are talking of the preliminary findings of their review. They say that the only figure that is in dispute: “Based on the preliminary findings, the total expenditure identified as potentially ineligible is Kshs33,061,925 (US$375,000)”. They then give the analysis in that document naming either an individual or some expenditure that is not properly validated. That is an exercise that is being undertaken now. We hope that within two weeks, as I have stated in the Statement, the final report will be out. I want to take this opportunity to remind the country that the KKV Programme has not been discontinued at all as indicated in the newspapers. That was very alarming. The World Bank has itself issued a Press release, whose copy I have tabled, confirming that the KKV is still on and has not been discontinued. They acknowledge there may have been misrepresentation by the mere fact that an internal working document of the World Bank found its way into the public domain in circumstances that are not clear. However, that is for the World Bank to determine. At the same time, it found its way into the public domain and if anybody was to use it; if it is for internal use and it is misinterpreted, then clearly the public could be mislead. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also table this letter from Mr. Mwasera."
