    "content": "on our behalf – some of the things that you will expect them to take you through are what the Auditor-General has been doing, how they have been applying the monies and why we are having issues in the counties. You visit the counties and do not need to be told who owns what. Everyone is saying how that building is now owned by the chief officer of the county, yet the local bank manager does not tell you that the so-called person has applied for a loan. You can see the lifestyle changes within the counties. We would like to see what the Auditor-General is doing, particularly at the county level, so that even as we see development and people becoming development-conscious courtesy of the devolved funds at the personal level, we also want to be sure that it is not our money that is getting personalised. Those are the things that we want to hear from the Auditor-General. If the Auditor-General has not told us that, we would want to hear from M/s Ronalds LLP that they also went back to those areas where the Auditor-General has given very clean audits and have also concurred with the Auditor-General. This is so that those lifestyle issues that are basically like sore thumbs that show that things could be wrong up there can actually be done at the second level. M/s Ronalds LLP should not just look at their job as going to look at the books of the Auditor-General. We want them to give us quality control and quality assurance that the Auditor-General has done everything possible to uncover how our money is being used, not just at the national level, but especially at the county level. We give more money out there with the hope that it will stimulate economies at that micro-level and ensure that suppliers are paid on time. So, if money is flowing and people are not being paid, we need to be told why that is happening, so that we can, at least, arrest poverty at the grassroots level."
