    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report. I would like to thank the Committee, which I am a member of, for doing a wonderful job, taking their time and making sure that the backlog that they inherited from the previous Parliament is completed. This is a big achievement for us to have done the accounts for 2010/2011, 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. This is a great achievement for this Parliament because come next year, we will be current and everything will be fine. As a member of this Committee, it is clear that Accounting Officers are never happy with our oversight. They do not like to be called to account for public money that they have been given. Most of the time, they appear before the Committee when they are not ready and even without the relevant documents. To make matters worse, they appear when they have not replied to the management letters that are written to them by the Auditor-General. They come thinking that this is just a routine job where you appear before the Committee, talk and the Committee will let you go. Being a member of the Committee, I can attest that it is very serious with its work. Many of the times, the Committee is reminding the Accounting Officers of their duty, work and telling them what is expected of them by Kenyans. This tells you that the Accounting Officers have not taken seriously the work of oversight that is being done by this House through PAC.
