    "content": "Let me thank the ladies and gentlemen for doing the right thing. This is because of the enormity of corruption in the counties. The only cure is giving the Office of the Auditor-General money and enhancing it in every county. Proper monitoring shall help us achieve our dream of devolution, otherwise it will be dead on arrival. I am speaking as the Member for Gem in Siaya County, which I think is the most corrupt in the whole nation. This is because of the things they are doing there. We shall be moving an amendment to give the Office of the Auditor-General a bit more money, so that they have money and enough staffing. I disagree with the attempt by the Office of the President to second people from the Public Service to work for the Auditor-General. We shall not agree to that. We shall even take that to court as the issue of the Kshs3 billion. We also need to enable the Controller of Budget to work in the counties. We need this issue of accountability to be inculcated, and want it to work for our people in the counties. It beats logic why the Budget and Appropriations Committee wants to extend the term of Mr. Nyachae, the Chairperson of the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC)."
