"content": "As much as the reports come to the House, issues are still being raised out there. Is it because we are not able to publicise what we do in this House? Every time you look at the newspapers or reports of the Auditor-General, as much as we will say that we have looked at the figures and they are good, weird cases of corruption will still be reported. It is us, as a House, that must make sure that the reports we adopt are publicised and reflect the true reality of the bodies concerned. I submit and support."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to add my voice to this Report. From the onset, I support it and congratulate the Committee for a detailed Report to guide this House. Having gone through it, there are things we cannot allow to continue in this country. First, a report detailing things that have happened in the last 26 years is not something that we should be excited about. We have had different Parliaments. These reports should have been presented and the concerns addressed. Unfortunately, we are seated here talking about reports from 26 years ago that reveal different gaps and challenges we are still facing as a country. We should be concerned and come up with a way forward. Even as we work on these reports, serious measures should be put in place to control bad practices. This will help to control finances and encourage different institutions to be more effective."

"content": "One of the observations the Committee made is the lack of ownership documents on land and buildings. When land or buildings do not belong to the institution, you are sure of poor management, lack of commitment and poor performance. We are Kenyans and we know how emotive land issues are. These institutions face serious challenges. The Report says: The Committee observed and noted with concern that Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) and Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) did not possess title documents for the land and buildings they occupy. This is a big failure and something needs to be done so that we are sure of ownership. The Report also says some parcels of land were illegally and irregularly carved out and registered in the names of private developers. This should be a matter of concern to all of us. How can KNH be registered under the name of a private developer? The corruption we have been talking about since Independence seems real and visible. Corruption is not only money based. Land and other things are included. This House should get concerned about what is happening."

"content": "Another serious concern the Committee observed is the delay in providing documents to the Auditor-General. Serious corruption takes place in these institutions. How can they delay in providing documents to the Auditor-General? The Committee observed that some accounting officers did not provide complete and reconciled financial and accounting records. This is very serious. Why should we have officers who cannot submit reports on time?"

"content": "There is also poor governance and weak internal controls. It seems these institutions lack proper internal control systems. There is a serious plan for coordination of poor performance and corruption. How can they not have internal controls in accounting? How can they not have a board of directors in place? That can be beyond them but serious issues have been brought out. Our young people are suffering and we cannot continue this way. I support the report but we must take serious action so as to salvage the situation."
