"content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, that is why I said the issue of tobacco is very complicated. What are the measures that are used for transparency and accountability? To enhance transparency and accountability in the management of the Tobacco Control Fund, the Ministry developed an operation manual guideline in 2022 and audits are conducted as per the Public Audit Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, let me not lie to this House. I agree with the hon. Senator that I have not seen these guidelines. I want that to go on record. The Tobacco Control Fund Implementation Secretariat manages day-to-day operations, maintains financial records, and ensures regular reporting. The House should not worry because I am on it. It will either straighten up or fold. It cannot be business as usual. It is one of the issues that are on my table. There are quite a number of matters, including a letter from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on inspection. Therefore, I am still studying that. However, since I had to come to the House, I had to find ways. I will talk to my Principal Secretary (PS) and the people concerned because we must speak to the people of Kenya about what is going on."
