    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I hope PKF Kenya will be bold enough. Rather than just audit the books of accounts, they should go out in the field and interview those entities which are audited by the Auditor-General. They can share with them the experience of being audited by the Auditor-General, so that we can come to fore, and say exactly what is happening. When they come to audit NG-CDF accounts, many a time, they deliberately write very adverse reports. Before they are admitted here in Parliament, they sneak them to the media which now splashes, ‘A certain Member of Parliament has eaten bursary money.’ A Member of Parliament is not an accounting officer. He does not go to every single school asking for a receipt to confirm whether the bursary money has been sent. The officers in the Office of the Auditor- General must be infused with adequate professionalism, so that Kenyans can get value for money. As I conclude, I also want to tell the Office of the Auditor-General that there are no sacred cows in this country. There are no stones that are not capable of being turned. They must go out there and pick out the rot, starting with the county governments, as well as the national Government. We can save this country a lot of money. We do not have to borrow money. The Office of the Auditor-General is the backbone that can save this country. Let them go out and pick the rot. How do you explain a Cabinet Secretary affording to buy a house of Ksh215 million on a salary of less than a million shillings? How is that possible, yet that person has never been dragged to any court of law? Even if he is dragged to any court of law, the evidence is so weak that it cannot sustain a conviction. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support the Motion."
