    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. He is very familiar with me, maybe sometimes I become invisible. This is an institution that should not be seen to be associated with anything touching on irregularities. I have no interest in M/s PKF Kenya LLP or any other, but what they are going to do is to give a record of performance of the office of the Auditor-General. Ordinarily, we would have three or four presentations by bidders for comparison purposes. Every Kenyan today is talking about transparency, accountability and openness in our doings. The same Auditor-General is being quoted by Members of this House and the public out there that so many things are going wrong within the Government, quasi- government institutions and state corporations. I am sure if we all look at the Auditor-General’s report even on the NG-CDF for each constituency, we find elements of non-professionalism where recommendations are given but the way forward is not stated. An example is where the Auditor-General comes with a statement that the NG-CDF has not provided receipts from bursaries. However, they did not go to the institution to confirm whether the bursaries were received. As they were looking for the receipts, it was not in their interest to go to that institution to confirm whether the money was disbursed. They end up giving a report that brings political problems to the Members of Parliament. Therefore, when I see this kind of recommendation, I wonder if it is not purposefully manufactured to condemn the same institution that we are saying is as white as snow.
