It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to address the following: (i) To explain how the utilisation of over Kshs40 billion has been spent during prevention and management of the spread of COVID-19 in this country? (ii) Which health responses have been undertaken and how much has been collected from citizens who are paying for quarantine costs? (iii) Which and how much tax refunds have been made by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials who made it clear that they would not implement the President’s directive until it is approved by Parliament? (iv) How many elderly persons have been paid, how much per person and what criterion was used to identify the beneficiaries? (v) How much has been spent by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) during the period and why NIS need extra funding to undertake what it was established to do? (vi) How much has been paid to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to cushion their businesses during this pandemic and what criterion was used to identify the beneficiaries?
