    "content": " In fact, some of them are behaving like Trump. I want to weigh in on the issue of IFMIS. I want to say the following. One, the issue of IFMIS is not new. It has been with us for some time. I remember in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), we had a lot of discussions with the Treasury on the efficiency and effectiveness of this system. More so if you look at the records from the Treasury, almost every year there are upgrades of the system and they cost a lot of money. It is upwards of billions of shillings. So, one would wonder why we still have a lot of challenges with the system. Those challenges need to be looked into and I think it is timely that the matter is raised for the Committee to consider. However, I tend to disagree with some of the comments coming from some of my colleagues, especially Hon. Chris Wamalwa. A financial system can never leave people happy. In fact, if you have a financial system that makes people angry, that is a perfect financial system. That is the main reason why we implement financial systems - to make sure that there is efficiency and that money is not wasted. If a system is easily accessible and you can transact so easily and at will without putting everything in order, then that is not a good financial system. What I would urge is for us to check if this system is serving the purpose and not serving the interests of individuals who want to access money easily.
