    "content": "enhance the performance of all the county governments. The counties will be audited at the right time and any decisions and corrections made at the right time. In my view, therefore, I think that is very important and I support this Bill. The independence of the Office of the Auditor-General and the fact that it is going to be a body corporate means that it will purely operate on its own, make its own decisions, sue and be sued and gives it a lot of credibility. It is now the responsibility of this Parliament to make sure that we oversee something that has been audited. It will allow us to use figures. Therefore, it should be done speedily and on time. We should not be given the auditing reports of 2011/2012 or 2012/2013 financial years five years down the line. I am, at least, glad now that we are up to speed and all the accounts are on time and, with the strengthening of the Auditor-General’s Office, I believe that this country will perform wonders. Now, if you look at the old Bill, it was meant for national Government and did not include the county governments. With the amendments, the auditing levels at the two levels of Government will be strengthened. With that, hon. Speaker, I would like to support this Bill. Thank you."
