Sen. Murkomen, you missed the debate last week. The reason the Clerk gave seven days is because last week we went through an e-mail and the same County Secretary (CS), requested for 14 days. However, the Speaker then indicated that this issue had been around for too long and, therefore, directed that the answer be given today. It was on the force of that that an e-mail was written and this CS then, confirmed that he would be ready today. So, the Office of the Clerk is not at fault. Madam Temporary Speaker, the final issue which I wish to clarify is the position by Sen. Ntutu. When I spoke of “lost funds”, I was basing that on the issues raised by Sen. Ntutu. We have found that in interrogating the position of collection vis-à-vis banking of funds in that county, in the month of February, Kshs21,686,950 was recorded as having been collected. However, the Kshs21 million did not arrive in their account in Co-operative Bank. In March 2014, a sum of Kshs17.2 million was collected. Again, it was not banked. Finally, a sum of Kshs14.9 million was collected, but it was not banked. A total sum of Kshs53 million. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."}
