    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. Yesterday, we were talking about double-speak in this august House where we must choose accountability on all issues and not some. I would like to point out that the reason why the Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector (GJLOS) is not in the Budget is not because we are avoiding accountability. The reason is that the mode of engagement on these funds is unlike any other. The money never comes to the Government of Kenya. It is spent on behalf of the Government by a financial management agency. It is a very untidy arrangement which we must try to get out of. Otherwise, this Government believes that every cent that it uses must come before the House for approval. Having said that, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Parliament, we have a responsibility to ensure that our audited accounts for CDF are laid before the House for discussion and public scrutiny."
