    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that Parliament had directed that the Appropriations-in-Aid be converted to revenues to avoid unnecessary leakages. There are, however, instances where Appropriations-in-Aid have been applied at source. The Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons is a case in point; the quarterly economic and budgetary review for the second quarter of this year indicated that that Ministry had spent Kshs3.45 billion, although it had been issued from the Exchequer with only Kshs273 million. This issue was raised in November by the Budget Committee. Even the Controller of Budget’s half-year report shows that the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons is not being issued with any Exchequer, yet it is spending. We are wondering whether this should be allowed to continue to happen; a Ministry spends Appropriations-in-Aid at source when, as a Parliament, we have recommended that the same should be send to the Exchequer then the expenditures required can be financed from there."
