    "content": "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Rev. Mutava Musyimi, for his wisdom in getting that money back in the Supplementary Estimates. That is because we have been having a hard time back in our constituencies; trying to explain to the people that we represent why they cannot access bursary funds and yet, kids are back to school. That is the case and yet, we do not have money in our CDF bank accounts. Therefore, I am glad that we will be able to do this. It is rather unfortunate that anybody in the Treasury would have imagined that you can move money that was appropriated for the year 2012/2013 to the next financial year. I think hon. Gatobu, who is a student of accounting, has clearly put it to the Treasury that under the international accounting standards, honestly, you cannot do that. It is unacceptable even in the accounting field. Therefore, the gentlemen and good ladies at the Treasury ought to respect the international accounting standards in the way they appropriate monies, be it Government funds or otherwise."
