    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think this is coming in the next amendment. Legally, all Exchequer revenues are supposed to go through the Consolidated Fund. This House passed that requirement in 2004, in the Government Financial Management Act, which basically says that all Exchequer revenues must be put into the Consolidated Fund. So, technically, we are just ratifying what this House has passed. In terms of the disbursement of the money, once the money comes in, we will then, through the Budget, vote it as a grant to the Kenya Sugar Board through the parent Ministry. The Board will then continue to disburse the funds as it should. The anomaly that is there now, where a body taxes people in contravention of the Government Financial Management Act, will have been cleared through this amendment."
