    "content": "Finally, we are working on rolling out a unified payroll system, because we have our fears. In my discussion with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which has conducted research in some other countries - I will not mention the country - they told me that there is a country where, when they audited the payroll, they discovered that 17 per cent of the workers who were on the payroll were actually not there. They were ghost workers. I suspect that Kenya could even be worse. We need a system that would root out and eliminate these ghost workers, who are denying us the resources we need for development. We will start by targeting the Ministry of Education, where we have the biggest wage bill, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), and the others to eliminate them. When I was the Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee, we encountered an instance where some teachers remained on the payroll for many years, even after they were dead. If dead teachers can remain on the payroll, then chances are that non-existent teachers could also find their way on. Thank you. I submit."
