    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you remember, I sought for a Ministerial Statement in this House from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance with regard to discrepancies under various revenue heads. The Government, up to now, has failed to offer an explanation to this country on why the Treasury has been giving conflicting figures to this House. I just want to refresh the minds of Members of this House that this same Government brings two different sets of account for the same revenue head. This issue has not been addressed. Therefore, I find it a bit difficult to support this Motion. Moreover, the Controller and Auditor General has been certifying our accounts. In accounting terminology, the Controller and Auditor-General has been qualifying our accounts all through. Out of about 14 revenue heads, only one was certified in 2007/2008 Financial Year. Only three were certified in 2008/2009 Financial Year out of 13. How are we sure that the money the citizens of this country pay in form of taxes go to the right account? What is in Consolidated Account is different from what is collected. The Kenya Revenue Authority reports different figures; figures that are tabled in this House. What the Controller and Auditor-General find in the Exchequer"
