    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me join my colleagues in thanking the Hon. Wanami Wamboka-led Committee for this excellent Report. This is the first opposition-generated PIC-GE oversight report apart from the ones we have done on public debts and acclimatization. Listening to the presentation of the Report by the Mover and the Seconder in terms of what they think as a Committee, the Committee has drawn very lenient recommendations. I wish what Hon. Francis Sigei said was captured in the Report. You want to act very tough, but the Report has lenient recommendations. This being a Report by an oversight Committee, we must start cracking the whip. A look at some of the general observations on what is happening in these semi- autonomous government agencies, especially those in the education and governance sectors, reveals a case of public institutions undertaking what we call “social services activities” in the country. Education is more of a public good. We do not expect dividends from semi- autonomous public institutions at the end of the year because they are supporting social activities. However, we expect them to operate within the law. For example, we hear that all audited semi-autonomous institutions have poor accounting standards, yet this country has the best brains regarding the accounting profession. Secondly, accounting is one of the disciplines where things have been standardized. This can only be explained by two things. We have a situation where CEOs deliberately decided not to prepare the accounts or hired incompetent The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
