"content": "There is a Member telling me to carry on. Thank you. That is Hon. Jessica for you. Yesterday I applauded the former Minister for Finance, Hon. Kimunya. I like listening to him when he talks about finance issues. When I was doing my Master’s degree at the university, he was the Minister for Finance. He could tell us how we collect revenue and how we spend our money. Having served in PAC for eight years, there are so many things I have learnt. Every accounting person in the ministries who has - I do not want to use the word ‘defrauded’- the Public Finance Management Act and the law on procurement, which Members have alluded to here, has not been followed up. I want to thank the Chairman and Members of PAC because we have been able to make very important recommendations. I am glad that the Leader of the Majority Party is listening to me. As we allocate money in Parliament, we should be at the forefront to look at how our funds have been spent. That has been our business as the PAC."
