    "content": "I have been told that this House has been elegant in representation, speaking good English and in legislation. However, I am told it has failed Kenyans when it comes to financial oversight. That is because of the inadequacy of the tools that we possess as a House. I propose that going forward in the next Senate, let us go for value for money based oversight rather than transaction based oversight. For the last 10 years, we have been looking at crunching numbers and transactions and asking why they are in the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) or not. We have been looking at procurement processes and asking why they procured bic ball pens when they could have procured other types of pens. That is not the business of this House. That is the business of the auditors in the counties and every county has internal auditors. That is the business of internal audit committees in county assemblies."
