    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to apologise to this House because some time ago, my predecessor and myself gave a list amounting to over Kshs3 billion as the amount owed. After verifying the figures with the receiver, we found that the figure is below Kshs1 billion. Now, we have a better understanding of the figures and who is involved. The figures that were brought to us had a problem. I am comfortable that after almost nine months of the receiver taking over the KPCU, a professional accountant from Deloitte and Touché has been able to provide us with accurate information which makes it possible for the co-operative movement and the Government to take appropriate action. I confirm that the hon. Member’s position is true. That is, the measures we have taken are temporary. In the past, when we attempted to come up with permanent solutions, we found it difficult because even within the Government there were some people, because of the data that we were using, who were not in agreement with the information that was being supplied to us. We now have accurate information available as a result of nine months of very good work by the receiver. I also confirm to you that the discussions that are going on in Government on how to help save KPCU which must remain with the farmers are much more positive because we have accurate data coming from the receiver of the KCB."
