    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would have allowed the Minister to continue with his time differences. The Minister can tell this House what it may not understand. However, can he just explain to us, for example, in his timing difference, the net domestic borrowing? The Central Bank of Kenya is the one which gets the money through borrowing and reports. Why is it that the Minister reported to the Controller and Auditor-General that there was zero in the Exchequer Account for that year and yet he reported to Parliament Kshs13.8 billion? It is just as simple as that. One can understand the Minister’s talk about paying through banks, PAYE, VAT and whatever. However, can he explain the net domestic borrowing, for example, where it is the CBK which borrows? That should go directly to the Exchequer Account. Can the Minister tell me, for example, why there was that difference? That is where he told the Controller and Auditor-General that we did not borrow anything according to his records in the Exchequer Account but he came to Parliament one month later to report to us that he borrowed Kshs13 billion. How does this tally with the Minister’s timing difference?"
