    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to join my Chairman and Members of this Committee in first of all, appreciating the work done by the Committee, and in supporting the Motion. As we said last week in the other Report of 2006/07--- I want to correct the Member for Lari: the report we discussed last week was for the year 2006/07 and not for 2005/06. This report is for 2007/08. There are still a number of leakages within Ministries that cause loss of public funds. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we want to request that the recommendations made in this report be taken seriously by the Executive arm of the Government. I will give very few examples on areas where this Committee has been making recommendations and it appears like no action has been taken. We have been recommending in our earlier reports that there are some dormant funds which exist within the Government; this Government has continued pledging that the funds will be wound up in a short while. In the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, we do have the District Development Fund, which as per this year held up to Kshs14 million in an account. The Rural Development Fund is another dormant Fund, which holds about Kshs3 million in an account."
