    "content": "Talking about coordinated activities, let me also use this opportunity to thank you for the facilitation you have afforded the PAC that has led this National Assembly to become the focal point of accountability in Africa. The PAC now hosts the Secretariat of the East African Association of Public Accounts Committees and African Organization of Public Accounts Committees. These are networks that coordinate accountability activities both in the East African region and on the African Continent. Hon. Speaker has kindly assisted the PAC to set aside facilities including office space to host these organizations together with the newly born Accountability Kenya. Let me conclude by saying that the PAC will work with all actors including other relevant Committees like the Budget and Appropriations Committee to ensure better management of resources. In doing so, we restate our commitment to aid every effort intended to fight corruption decisively, not just in word but in deed. We will also support efforts that cut wastage and emphasize savings in such areas such as expenditure on hospitality, entertainment and travel and any other area of public expenditure that can enable the Government to save funds and direct the same to development activities. With those remarks, I thank all the Members. I beg to move."
