    "content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. On 21st April, I had sought a Ministerial Statement in this House regarding the revenue account. I wanted it from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. There is a ruling that the Chair was supposed to give on this matter. Up to date, the ruling has not been given. I am concerned that the issue I raised is even continuing and is persistent. This is causing a worry because even in the latest Report from the Controller and Auditor- General, it indicates that the recent Estimates that were tabled in this House, there is a difference of what he has reported in his accounts of over Kshs146 billion. This is worrying to me. It should concern this House. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance owe it to this country to explain why he gives different figures to this House and different figures to the Controller and Auditor-General and, more so, when the amounts he purports to give this House as having been corrected, are more than what has actually gone into the Exchequer Account and reported to the Controller and Auditor-General. So, I want to seek the indulgence of the Chair that this ruling be given as early as possible and, if possible, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance be compelled to give an answer to this House on why the Government accounts are erroneous and why, even the accounts of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance have not been certified by the Controller and Auditor-General. This is a serious matter which needs to be disposed of, especially when we are just about to conclude debate on the Budget."
