This account receives money from the National Treasury; the equitable share, Level 5 conditional grant, Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) money and other conditional grants, together with local revenue. So, it is always higher than what is raised by the National Treasury. We got the authority to withdraw this amount from the CRF account. That is what the Controller of Budget calls ‘the Exchequer release.’ Regarding the budget implementation report from the county treasury, I want to draw your attention to Kshs4,840,770,218. This is the figure that was picked by the assembly, and we have a tabulation in the report that I will refer to shortly. This is the money that is the equitable share, Level 5 grants and DANIDA money, totaling to the exact figure, without including the local revenue and other sources of revenue to the CRF. This was the National Treasury release directly to CRF and so, it cannot be compared. It is part of the information that we are building up into the report that we have given."}
