    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I know that the Office of the Auditor General has been in existence but it needs to be strengthened. We have lost a bit of confidence in it before, but I know that if we give it the strength that is required now, it is going to serve the public as much as we want. We will have additional staff to strengthen the Office of the Auditor General now that we are in the era of devolution. This means that we need adequate staff to cover the counties, schools, hospitals and all the public entities that have been established in Kenya. We need people who meet the requirements of Chapter Six of our Constitution. It is not enough to provide adequate staff but we need skilled people, who can handle complicated issues so as to prevent cases of corruption. We need people with integrity to serve in the office of the Auditor General, so that we avoid cases of grand corruption like Anglo Leasing during which staff of the Auditor General were compromised. Due to a limited number of members of staff serving in this office, it could not address matters as adequately as possible. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. Thank you."
