    "content": "The Public Finance Management Act is clear that three months after the end of a financial year, all bodies are supposed to be ready with their financial statements. This is never done. Up to the time these bodies appeared before the Committee, the reports had not been submitted to the Auditor-General. Therefore, you wonder how these people are still in office. There are many Kenyans who can do these jobs. There is a lot of wastage. Money cannot be accounted for. To say the least, I am embarrassed for our country. You do not have to be told. If you go to some of these institutions, you can see that the assets, including vehicles, are junk, yet there is a Government policy in place. Not to get into details which have already been mentioned, but the President and the leadership of this country must cascade that performance contracting down to the chief executive officers of these institutions. They should be held to account. If you cannot perform, go home and let qualified Kenyans do the work. Simple! Once again, I support the Report. If what we saw from the leadership of this country was genuine, we expect to see change."
