    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Reports as presented by the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and seconded by hon. Manje. I want to thank the Committee for a good job and I want to go directly to aspects of the recommendations that they brought up and the salient issues that they highlighted for us, especially considering the debate that our country is going through right now. We have had a debate very recently about the wage bill and a bloated Civil Service; that we have too many civil servants but this debate has been narrowed down sometimes in a cheeky and unhelpful manner to mean that we have overrepresentation in the legislatures, which is far from the truth. I want to say that if our wage bill is very high and our Civil Service is bloated, there are very practical steps we as the custodians of public money and the interests of Kenyans should be taking and decisions that we should consider as patriotic Members and leaders of the National Assembly.
