    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, yes. It appears during Sen. Farhiya’s good contribution that there is a problem within finance because it looks like those are the documents that are flammable in counties more than any other thing. The Public Finance Management Act (PFM) is very specific when it comes to keeping records. I know Sen. Wambua’s question might have been directed to the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. However, possibly the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget needs to give us a status of how information and documents are being stored in counties because it cannot be that you are only hearing of documents of finance being burnt. It is not just a security issue. It is part of the accounting officers’ responsibility to keep records in a certain way. Maybe an intervention on the Information Technology systems and Oracle can then be discussed within that context. Therefore, it could enrich the House if the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget chips in and gives us a status of all the counties and record keeping."
