    "content": "Mr. Speaker, the Treasury can only release money after it has received it. We collect our money on a monthly basis and we release it on quarterly basis. But, in most occasions, we also release it on monthly basis, as and when, funds are available. It is a matter of 4398 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 9, 2007 matching the two. I believe that the main reason for the return of this money is, probably, the way the commitment and procurement process is made. We will continue monitoring them to reduce the gap. As hon. Members will observe, out of the Recurrent Vote of Kshs255 billion, only Kshs5.9 billion was returned. Out of Kshs103 billion, Kshs18 billion was returned. You can see that basically within the Development Vote that most amounts are not utilised. This is mainly because of the procurement procedures. Where there are development partner-funded projects, they, perhaps, do not come on time because of the procedures involved in that."
