    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you recall well that the Ministry of Education has lost Kshs4.2 billion through misappropriation or embezzlement. This is going to affect learning in our schools and also the quality of education in our schools. This is a development that we cannot allow to continue in this country. This has also made crucial donors to the education sector lose confidence in the management of our institutions. Creation of the audit office with effective and efficient management will rekindle the lost confidence. We should be calling for constant accountability and transparency in our institutions. We should also be able, through the creation of the new audit office and the office of the Controller of Budget to fight effectively corruption and impunity in our institutions. The vetting committees should be expected not to allow perjurers to appear before these committees to present evidence. We can remember what happened to the founding father of this nation who was detained for eight years as a result of a perjurer giving false evidence and he was put in for eight years. The same thing is likely to happen if we are not careful with those people who are giving evidence in our committees."
