"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion mainly because all of us throughout our lives have known what corruption can cost this society. I am a worried person because when I look at the office of the Auditor-General, in this country, they have only 180 persons. When you look at their responsibility which is to ensure that all the payments are checked, audited and verified; you find that the number of people involved is not adequate. The amount of money allocated to them is very little. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have given the office of the Auditor-General an additional responsibility to look at the counties. I believe the way forward is to make sure that they have adequate resources to ensure that those people who plan and execute plans to take away money from this country are controlled. In the last two weeks, I have noted that - I do not want to repeat what other hon. Members have said about Makueni â an office of a senior officer and a very prominent person in this country was broken into and a huge sum of money lost. I was following the story to see what would happen to this case. It is important for us to establish what anybody in this country will be doing with large sums of money in foreign currency. Even as you wait, you hear that some of these cases have been withdrawn. We need an open society. If somebody says he has lost money,"
