    "content": "people who are well learned, not only those that we call “learned friends”, but people who are learned in other disciplines like finance, law and several other areas. There are glaring discrepancies in the Report from the Committee and not from the Controller of Budget. This gives an extensive view of the action that should be taken now and even in future. This is just like copying and pasting. So, to the one who suggested the amendment, I appreciate it. On the part of the Controller of Budget, there seems to be some complacency. The Report recommends further investigations but does not narrow down to what specific action would have been taken or what agencies the case should have been referred to. We will recommend that the Committee gives us the agencies that this case should be referred to and to what extend we should pin down the actual culprits. We expected the Committee to dwell a bit more on the pitfalls of the budget-making process if any and how each of the stakeholders should have participated. We know that the County Assembly approved this. However, it should have gone a little bit deeper to examine whether the necessary checks and balances were undertaken. It should also have identified the useful lessons and experiences that the Senate and the County Assembly can learn because the County Assembly acts on behalf of the Senate. We want them to do a detailed analysis on the merits, demerits and the possible solutions for us to avoid such situations in future. I support the amendment."
