    "content": "We need to respect the institutions that were set up. We need to be accountable. It does not break a bone or a leg to appear before a Committee. If the audit query has been raised, can you just show us where the money is. It is as simple as that. It is not as complicated as some of the governors want to make it look. Maybe those governors have participated in mischief. I thank a number of governors who came to the Committee, answered the questions, provided evidence and clarifications. As a result, those matters were resolved in the presence of the Committee, officers from the Auditor-General’s office, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, National Treasury among other officers that the Committee has attached. There are a number of issues that we have noted having sat as a Member of CPAIC. I know there are a number of challenges that appear across the county executives or county assembly. One is delay in submission of documents to the Auditor-General and there is a period for that. Sen. Farhiya understands because she is well read and has a wealth of experience in the accounting world and finance. She is well read. As we know, the issue of degrees and having no degrees is bringing many issues in this country. There is a lot of heat. I did not know it was hard to get a degree until the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) clearance process started. It has made most of us politicians be scrutinized before Kenyans. I would not be surprised if somebody would go to court to find out whether I graduated or not. As elected leaders, it has given us a bad name. Madam Temporary Speaker, what I wanted to emphasise is that there is that timeline period of three months."
