    "content": "and National Planning, but also as we approve the Budget. If we approve the Budget with the huge deficit we are essentially saying when it is implemented it will include deficit and then borrowing will take place. We need to be a lot more critical on the revenue estimates. The Kenya Revenue Authority has been getting off the hook and the National Treasury has been grandfathering them for too long. Therefore, we need to critically look at their performance levels in the Budget of getting the numbers for revenue with a high probability of success. I think the numbers we use have huge disparities running to hundreds of billions sometimes like Kshs300 billion in one year and more. This usually ends up being funds which will have to be borrowed during implementation. I strongly support the idea of Third Quarterly Implementation Review using the Office of the Controller of Budget, but also using numbers from our own Budget Office. I think there will be more details suited for our needs. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
