    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support the PIC, PAC and the Special Funds Accounts Committee. They have mandate to examine and investigate books of accounts of various institutions in this republic. Therefore, I support with the following reasons: First, sound and prudent financial management is required in all institutions particularly the State corporations. The 48 corporations that the son of a reknown former Minister of this republic, Hon. Sheriff Nassir…Like father, like son and so you are a great man as well. I want the Public Finance Management Act to be adhered to; Procurement and Asset Disposal Act must be followed fully. CEOs of various State corporations in this republic must be competent human resource people. I require all of them to follow processes and rules. They have to be professionals. I have heard a lot of complaints. Nevertheless, accountability or the end of accounting is the beginning of auditing. Auditing is only to examine books of accounts. Therefore, all we want is value for our money. Accountability is the basis for any meaningful achievement, according to Article 95 of our Constitution. Roles of Members of Parliament are as follows: Oversight, legislation, representation and budget-making process. Those are our key roles and so we are entrusted with huge responsibility."
