    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank all the Members who have contributed. This is a landmark Bill for this country. This is not time for debate but I am particularly gratified by the provisions of Clauses 52 and 53 of this Bill, which provide for the implementation of reports of accounting officers, and withholding of funds by the Parliament of Kenya or a county assembly. This is very important. Clause 53 says that where there is a serious material breach or persistent material breaches of the provisions of the Act, the Auditor-General may, in his audit report to Parliament or the relevant county assembly, pursuant to the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, recommend the withholding of funds to a state organ. This is very important because, for the first time, it gives us the stick with which to punish those state organs that withhold information unnecessarily. With those remarks, I beg to support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
