    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to finish my contribution. The other final reason why I am opposed to this Motion is; how can the Government come and ask us for more money and yet this country does not even know how much we collect in terms of revenue? I have brought a statement to this House. I have also requested for a statement from the Minister. This statement was supposed to be delivered last Tuesday but, I was requested to give him more time. Up to today, it has not been given. Do you know and does this House know that we were misled into approving Budget Estimates of 2009/2010? We were misled by over Kshs489 billion in the actual revenue for 2007/2008. This House was given figures which were not correct and have since been contested by the Controller and Auditor-General. The then Controller and Auditor-General has, clearly, stated that of all the 14 revenue accounts of Government, he could only certify two and those were very small ones. With regard to the rest, he does not know whether the amount collected is the same one which was banked in the Exchequer Account and the same one that was reported."
