    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree the two petitions are merited. I want to speak to the second one by Hon. Charles. In my experience in the last Parliament when I used to chair the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), I got the understanding that the biggest problem TSC is facing is budget. It behoves this House that TSC is adequately budgeted to enable it undertake its mandate. Without any prejudice, of all constitutional commissions whose audit reports came before me, TSC had the least number of audit queries. That, of course, speaks to the fact that the Commission is very transparent in its dealings with public resources at its disposal. What I would want us to do, even as the Committee examines these petitions, is to carefully think about how we can resource TSC in future. The TSC is one entity with the largest payroll in the Republic of Kenya. It needs to be supported through resourcing, even as the Committee responsible continues to oversee its operations. The issues raised by my two colleagues are pertinent and need to be addressed here. Thank you very much."
