    "content": "My fantastic brother, hon. Savula, unfortunately we are a House of rules and we are bound, but I would love him to whisper the clarification to me after this. I was saying that the question of implementing the recommendations of the Committee is essential. Otherwise, we would all be engaged in games of musical chairs that amount to zilch. Among the measures that the Committee has identified and will be deploying in accordance with Article 226 (5) of the Constitution on direct personal liability include: surcharging officers found culpable, investigation and prosecution, naming and shaming, pegging resource allocation to levels of accountability and building partnerships among various actors. The Committee has facilitated the formation of a historic body called Accountability Kenya which now brings together all the players in the arena of accountability. These are the Public Accounts Committee, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the Controller of Budget, the Judiciary, the Inspector General of Police and other actors in that arena including the civil society. Through Accountability Kenya the PAC hopes to create synergy of actions where the PAC recommendations can be handed over directly to the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission for further investigation from which action can be recommended to the DPP for immediate prosecution. This is a framework through which the Committee hopes and strongly believes can have the recommendations we bring to this House implemented. We have also adopted a system, starting with the next Report that the Committee will present to the House, of a list of commendations where the Committee will go out of its way to commend Accounting Officers who do their work effectively and take good care of resources placed in their hands. That list will be accompanied with a list of shame of those Accounting Officers who do not live up to expectations. An empirical scientific tool has been developed through the Research Officer attached to this Committee, which will be deployed for this purpose. This implementation framework will give effect to these Reports."
