    "content": "Assets like cars, land and buildings are abused by the Government. If this Parliament can come up with a law and regulation, through these we amend our Public Finance Management(PFM) Act and have provisions that we can to safeguard our assets. The payments that were made need to be reviewed, because this was the time when we were paying people who did not exist and dummy companies that were formed to siphon out out money. I think we should come up with a strategic paper that outlines how we are going to protect national assets and maintain them. Finally, it is high time the Government of Kenya, the National Assembly, the Senate and all the stakeholders empowered internal audit systems. This is because this country is only known to cry over the past; we recover nothing and do nothing. However, if we had a strong internal audit system and an audit team that is allowed to expose everything that is not right to the Auditor-General and other investigating authorities, we would, probably, prevent the errors that are occurring in this country; we live to regret once they have occurred, yet generations will continue to pay for them. I thank you for giving me this opportunity and I support the Public Investment Committee (PIC) recommendations. Thank you.
