    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Chairman, Hon. Mulyungi and the Members of the Committee, for this Report. This shows that Government records only gather dust but they do not die. So, whether it is a 2013 or 2016 Audit Report, the Report is still valid to the extent of telling us if there are any differences with what we are experiencing today in our constituencies. We still have fund managers; some overstay and some stay for a few months; others are not trained accountants and for others, we doubt their credentials. So, all these issues are still relevant today as they were when they were questioned by this Audit Report 10 years ago. On the issue of standardisation, I am looking at this Report and Members were building water dams, street lights, health facilities and water points. So, there are still certain constituencies that have the luxury to do projects that are largely done by counties or are devolved. I agree with the Member of Parliament for Kitui Rural that there are people who do not know what to do with that money. They might have too much money on their hands. With the little money we get, let alone bursaries or putting up classrooms, even constructing laboratories for all our secondary schools becomes a tall order."
