    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, depending on when you ask for the books of account, there will be these timing differences. I assure you that they will be there and that is why there is reconciliation. In this particular case, since the figures were being audited, what we reported to Parliament were the unaudited accounts. Coming to the specific accounts - and I thank Mr. Mbadi - they are three. In fact, I mentioned them but the calculation is wrong. There were three that were satisfied by the Auditor-General. If you look at the reasons for non-certification, you will see that they are basically auditing issues and more of reporting time. Again there are other collectors who do not remit their accounts immediately. So, it will take time. There are others, for example, which are shown as having been received but ultimately this has not been remitted to the Auditor-General. Again, this depends on the timing. For example, if you closed your books today, you will have a different figure but when those figures on the net borrowing are taken to the Exchequer Account tomorrow, they will be different. So, these timing differences will be there. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the most important thing is that not a single cent of Kenyan money has been lost and it will not be lost under my watch. Thank you."
