    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to start by thanking all hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. It is important that we appreciate the input of this Report. I want to state for the record that, for the first time, the Public Accounts Committee, I am reliably informed, has done reports for up to 2003/2004. Therefore, it is for this House to expedite the debates and be current so that we do not deliberate - not even on corpses, but on dry bones whose autopsy cannot give you any reason or purpose for the death of that person. I also want to thank the Committee under the Chairmanship of hon. Kenyatta for moving fast enough to be able to be current. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to make a few comments on the issues which have been raised by hon. Members. First, on the integrity of the Committee that did this Report. For the first time, we did reports for two financial years in one year and this was at the time when Parliament was actually busy in Bomas of Kenya. We tried to have 105 sittings and do two reports, for 1998/1999 and 1999/2000, and I thank the Committee Members who made it possible. I also think that there was extreme openness and accountability and my Committee was never compromised at any one time and our decisions were raised by consensus."
