    "content": "pay pending bills and mis-direction of public resources will go on. If we want to encourage those committees to do their work seriously, we must come up with a mechanism to refer those reports to the Committee on Implementation once they are tabled and debated. We want to see accounting officers who cannot account for money being taken to court and jailed. At the end of the day, they will know that public money should be used prudently to benefit Kenyans and taxpayers, and not to benefit a few Kenyans who want to pocket that money for their families. If we go in that direction, this House will be seen to have “teeth” to bite. Otherwise, we will continue talking and, at the end of the day, we will never change this country. People will mis-direct, misappropriate and steal public resources. I do not think that is the Kenya we want. With those many remarks, I thank the Chairperson of the Committee and its membership for this good effort. We must now make sure that their recommendations are implemented. They need to be on the neck of the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation so that those recommendations can be implemented. I support the Report."
