    "content": "I want to commend the Committee especially on some hidden payments. I want to be specific to the Office of the President where some malicious expenditure is just seen, money is withdrawn and the destination of the money is not known. The time of secrecy is over. We have a new Constitution which gives us the right to information, whether the information is classified or not. A Committee like the Public Accounts Committee must be told that the money was withdrawn from this account and taken to that account for a specific purpose. The Committee has worked very hard and tabled three Reports dating back to about three years ago, despite the challenge of communication breakdown that they are facing. However, those are in-house matters, and should not get out of this House. This is a very important Committee led by a very able man, hon. Ababu Namwamba. I have no doubt that what was played around was mere politics and had nothing to do with PAC. I just want to congratulate the Committee. If we stick to the recommendations contained in the Report, I am sure that we will reduce corruption and misappropriation of public funds across the entire Government. I am very sure that we will save a lot of money. With those remarks, I beg to support."
