    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second small point I was trying to make was that for purposes of general information to all the 47 governors of the country, the Public Accounts and Investment Committee of this Senate is taking whistle- blowers reports very seriously. In fact, already the County Government of Trans Nzoia has attracted whistle-blowers who have made extensive submissions to the Speaker who has marked the same to our Committee. We have already requested for a special audit. This shows that we are not going to lie on roulettes, but make sure that we are proactive. Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you look at the conditional allocations, it includes over Kshs700 billion from the donor community. I am not convinced that the way the Government is releasing this money is right. The Government is releasing donor funds every month. Our understanding is that donor funds are brought in the country and should be given to the county governments as a lumpsum. This only serves to delay further development in the countries. For purposes of general information, I was the Chairman of Public Accounts Committee in the last Parliament. We audited and completed accounts up to 2010 and 2011. Therefore, I want to remind the country that the Speaker of the National Assembly is deliberately refusing to table for approval the last audited accounts which is 2010/2011 that I presided over."
