    "content": "have recommended that Treasury should be able to release funds appropriately so that we meet all the pending bills. My attention, together with that of the Committee members, was also drawn to some old historical audit issues like KenRen, the fertilizer plant that was to be built back in 1970. The Committee has recommended a way of concluding that audit query, so that it does not appear year after year. It has been an old audit query. We have spent a lot of money and the Committee has put in place measures to ensure that, that audit query is dealt with so that it does not feature in subsequent financial years. On Anglo leasing, the Committee also intends to bring this to an end, so that we do not have a repeat. There is also the issue of police housing. I take this with great exception. As a member of the Committee, I would like to say that the mode of procurement that was used in procuring police housing was not direct procurement. Going through the records, you will realize that the mode of procurement was open tender and only a single bidder was able to qualify for the housing project. With regard to value for money, within the same prefix of police housing, there are members of the public who bought the same houses at similar prices. What that tells you is that the process, methodology of procurement and the value for money for the same police housing was not achieved. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to put my voice on this."
