    "content": "Those are some of the things we need to think about. The process of audit cannot be left to members of the Senate; it must be dealt with by technical people. It is those technical people who will help us. The politicians sitting in committees in the House of Commons, Congress, and the House of Representatives ideally just sit to approve reports. The technical teams are the ones who do this. You cannot shift the people who work in the CPAIC every six or so months, that there is nobody there with institutional memory. We are now being asked to reconstitute the Committee. The first Chairman was Sen. M. Kajwang’, the second Chairman is Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, and the third one might be a different one. The first one does not know what the second one did, and the third one does not know what the first and second one did, and yet, it is possible that you are dealing with a governor who was in office since 2013. At the end of every Session, between the five years, this Senate should have an exit report on a particular county. For example, between 2013 and 2017, this is the performance of Nairobi City County with regard to its audit. This is so that you have a report for the next Session of Senate to follow up. Otherwise, what we are doing now is filling the Order Paper with a lot of these things and passing so many resolutions, which are not going to add any value to the members of these respective counties wherever they occur. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
