    "content": "The first one is that when you hear some of those auditors in these institutions delay responding to audit queries raised, it means those individuals are taking time to cook figures. That is one of the very telling signs of people who are changing figures so that they can pass the audit. We must follow the law and any time an audit query is raised, it must be answered quickly. We also want to caution the Auditor-General not to rush to publicise and print out the audit queries because every time there is an audit query, there is always an answer. She should be waiting until she gets the responses to the queries before presenting the responses and where they are unable to defend themselves, then that is what goes out there. The second issue is about ethnicity. This seems to be a major problem. It is not just in these State corporations but also at the national level. Inclusivity, which is one of the issues we, as Azimio, are raising when we have talks with our counterparts, is one of the values and principles of Article 10 of our Constitution which says that every ethnic group must be involved in governance of this nation. If you find an institution where people operating at the top leadership are from one ethnic community in this country, that obviously smacks of corruption, nepotism, and it is against the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. None other than the Deputy President himself told us that Kenya is a company limited by shares and that only guys that voted for Kenya Kwanza would benefit from the largesse of Government. That refers to development and employment opportunities. That is why we have a problem because we always get leadership that believes that when you win an election, then you have to benefit only your people and not the whole country. We must find a way to unite this country. The other issue is that of prolonged projects, that is, projects taking forever."
