    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker Sir. On behalf of the Leader of Majority Party, who is hon. Duale, I wish to reply by thanking all Members who have contributed to this Bill positively. This Bill will go a long way in improving our audit function in the Government. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in view of the investment by the Government in companies in which it has controlling shares, I think we need to extend these services to those companies, especially to a company like Mumias Sugar, which has been in the media of late. The stories that we are hearing today coming from Mumias Sugar Company, where the Government has invested 20 per cent, are that the company is coming down to the ground. This is because there was an element of mismanagement and poor auditing. It is important that the Government develops interest in wherever it has invested public funds, so that we can take care of funds that the Government has put in, in form of investment. I know that this Bill will go a long way in supporting the Government and this House in whatever we would have wished to see the Government do in terms of protecting investment of the Government. I beg to reply."
