    "content": "colleagues that going forward, we allow the Accounting Officer of the National Assembly to advertise the tender beyond the boundaries of the Republic of Kenya. This way, we will have more audit firms and it would not feel like there is a conflict of interest when they are asked to bid to audit the Office of the Auditor-General. The basis of this report is Article 226(4), which gives the National Assembly the mandate to approve an accounting professional firm that is going to oversee the role, operations and efficiency of the Office of the Auditor-General. I am pleading with the House to approve the report so that we get a competent firm like PKF Partnership LLP to audit the operations of the Auditor-General. In conclusion, for us to get prudent use and monitor taxpayers' funds, we must get proper audit reports. Therefore, we must get a proper audit firm that will give us the true picture of the expenditure of public funds. I believe that by supporting this report, we will give the PKF the chance to audit the Office of the Auditor-General and get the right feedback and productivity that we expect in the public sector. As the Vice-Chairman of the Committee and the acting Chairperson, I plead with the House to approve this report. Thank you very much."
