    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek clarification from the Minister. According to the Constitution, the Auditor-General is required to audit the books after eight months. Previously, audits have been done after a reasonable period of time. The question of timing difference does not, therefore, arise. This is because the only tax that is collected through agents is VAT. The remittance is done in not more than a week’s period. The auditing is done after about three months. Therefore, the question of timing does not arise. Having said that, Article 216 says that the revenue allocation shall be based on the revenue collected by the central Government. At this point when we are going into devolution, it is very important that we get the figures of revenue accurately. Could the Minister clarify the differences in view of the fact that we want to know the accurate figure to be used for revenue allocation?"
