    "content": "General is done, but he is not in charge. He should not be the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), or the accounting officer, so that there is efficiency and the Auditor-General has power, so that he can check big corruption cases. Clause 17 on the recruitment of staff of the Auditor-General stresses the importance of ethnic and regional balance. We have seen in this country, and in this administration, that appointments have been concentrated in few areas, friends and supporters. This Office of the Auditor-General is so important that we cannot appoint people either from certain ethnic groups or regional blocs, because they are politically sitting on the correct side of history. It is so crucial that the appointments, according to the Constitution of Kenya 2010, have to show ethnic and regional balance. They have to show the face of Kenya. That will attract a lot of trust to this Office of the Auditor- General. Clause 40 seeks to shield some security organs. We have known that Anglo Leasing was one of the many security contract scandals that took place. If you shield some of these security organs from the Auditor-General, most corruption will take place there. That clause should be relooked at, so that the Auditor-General can audit every organ of the Government."
