We should check to see how they are spending their money. We have seen a lot of wastage, corruption, looting and nobody is talking about it. Money is money, be it at the national or county governments. It is Kenyans’ money. They should follow it up to know whether it does the function that it is intended to at the county level. From where I sit, I can tell you that there is a lot of wastage. They undertake programmes that cannot be audited at any level. We need to look into this issue. As I said earlier, Kenya is our nation and our country. We have heard our young men and women. They were bold enough to come out to talk to us very loudly. We have heard them. The conversation must continue so that we put Kenya where it is supposed to be. We cannot sit back and allow looting. The EACC investigates when departments are caught embezzling money from the public and yet, we do not know exactly what happens years down the line. People will fear misusing public funds if the EACC makes several arrests. That is the conversation our Gen. Zs are having. The nation and Parliament are discussing the Supplementary Budget and the austerity measures to be undertaken moving forward. It means every Kenyan needs to stand up and speak when we see something that is wrong happening wherever we are. We should not be quiet anymore. We need to speak if there is looting anywhere. We will let our young men and women down if we do not do so. They spoke and we have heard them. We need to act and implement what The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
