Madam Temporary Speaker, that good gentleman made that particular observation. That, we need to ensure that we reduce Government wastage. In my opinion, it is not the priority of the people of Kenya now to have the best State House in the region. It may look beautiful. It is elegant and excellent. However, does it reflect the lives of the people of Kenya? Is it the same as to the quality of life of the people of Kenya? There is a recommendation that has been made by the committee that I am agreeing with. The automation of the withdrawal of the debt service payment from the Consolidated Fund. The national debt has become an extremely opaque thing. You cannot tell how much has been paid and within what time. For the pending bills in our counties, you will have a view because they are managed through the IFMIS. Therefore, you can tell that this was the date it was accrued and this is what has been done to it. Why not have the same, so that we can follow and understand how our national debt is flowing? We can then know how exactly this money that has been taken as national debt has been used. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
