    "content": "That calls forth the same question which my colleagues were asking; which was: Then, who audits the Auditor-General? Clause 57(1) states that all staff of the Office of the Auditor-General are duty bound to disclose any fraud or corruption that comes to their attention immediately and a disciplinary action shall be taken against any officer who knowingly covers up any acts of fraud or corruption. Again, that one calls for people of integrity, honesty and the right people to be hired for that particular office. Hon. Speaker, I also agree with what hon. Katoo was talking about in Clause 11. What is so important is the issue of continuous audit. When you look at the current scenario in this country, where we have devolved governments--- I want to use an example of Narok County where I come from. In Narok County at the moment, there are a lot of fights and the basic reasons for those fights are issues of management and accountability. If the Office of the Auditor-General was doing continuous auditing, those issues which we are experiencing in Narok would not take place. Hon. Speaker, however, this Bill is good. It is timely and I believe it is going to save this country from the menace of corruption. I support."
