    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, going back to the actual figures of collection - because I have the audited and actual figures - in 2005/2006, the 2.5 per cent as per the Act was Kshs7,000,085,675. I am giving this figure so that I can answer his question in comparative figures. The allocation that was given was Kshs7.2 billion. So, the allocation was higher than the actual amount. In 2006/2007, the amount of money allocated was Kshs10,038,000,000 and 2.5 per cent of the actual was Kshs8.5 billion. So there was an excess payment. In 2007/2008, the estimated figure that was used was Kshs10.1 billion, whereas the actual amount was Kshs10.07 billion. That gives a difference of Kshs1,067,000,000. We have been fighting with the Treasury because they are saying that in the previous years, they overpaid. But we have managed to get a position that the extra Kshs1 billion that should be distributed to the CDF should be put in supplementary estimates and brought before this House. It is upon hon. Members of the House to ensure that, that amount is in the supplementary estimates."
