    "content": "Hon. Members, even as we debate this, I think it is fair to also just remind ourselves that the Office of the Auditor-General is not being created by this Bill. It is in Chapter 15 of the constitutional offices and, specifically Article 248(3) (a) - the Office of the Auditor-General. We must differentiate that this law is not creating a new office and, indeed, there is already an Auditor-General of the Republic of Kenya appointed in accordance with our Constitution. However, I think it is fair, since this Bill is supposed to be one of those that are supposed to be enacted to actualise the Constitution in its new form, that we draw comparisons between the current laws under which the Auditor-General operates so that we can see whether there are any improvements that have been proposed in this Bill. I am saying this because the next speaker is somebody who is supposed to be a consumer of the services of the Auditor-General, specifically to see which areas we need to improve on, especially either in this law, or if there are issues that are there in the other law that we can import into this Bill. Let us suggest them even though it is a debate but we need to have that in mind. Hon. Ababu Namwamba, the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)."
