    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I would like to congratulate hon. Opiyo Wandayi for moving this Motion. Corruption has been sung about for many years in this country. It has been there in the past and in the present, but we have not done much to fight it. There is need to review even our procurement rules. The Mover of this Motion is talking about irregular payments. Irregular payments are corruption. It was even last week when we saw corruption. The National Cereals and Produce Board entered into an irregular payment with a very small company despite the advice from the technical department. Unless we have mechanisms to control irregular payments which provide loopholes for corruption--- We first need to ascertain how to define an irregular payment. The Kenya National Audit Office needs to be reinforced with professionals. We need to get people who can audit public funds to make sure that the public gets to know whether public funds have been spent properly."
