"content": "I really wish to commend the Committee, in particular under the able leadership of Dr. Khalwale and the rest of the team, including the two mathematicians he was talking about. My good friend, Dr. Kones, is a statistician and many other able hon. Members in that particular Committee. I also appreciate that Committee by re-electing Dr. Khalwale because one of the greatest strategies in Africa is failure to appreciate certain individuals who have done a good job and ensuring that the memory of the previous Committee can endure in the present and the future. I know it does through the reports but Africans, as the literate survey indicated the other day, especially in Kenya, are only very good at reading the newspapers but to read reports, books or stories is not our fault. So, assuming that we are dealing with random access memory, memory in terms of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) communications and recommendations is very essential for this House. You will appreciate that the PAC and the PIC are some of the most important Committees of this House. They are important in the sense that they are here for the sole purpose that we are hon. Members because when we allow the Government to tax the people we represent â we give the Government the authority to incur expenditure. Then after that expenditure has been expended, the Controller and Auditor-General audits the books and then they come back to us through these particular Committees in order to satisfy ourselves that the money was put to proper use."
