    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Indeed, this is a good amendment. I sit in the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and we have seen a lot of issues, especially with parastatals. They come up with an amount of more than Kshs5 billion and yet the Attorney-General is not aware of anything. This is a good issue. However, my worry is that we should not do this, only for Cabinet Secretaries to take advantage of the situation and then we end up having a lot of bureaucracies, as hon. (Eng.) Kiragu said. My concern is on the county governments. I want the Leader of the Majority Party to listen. We are talking about the Cabinet and the Attorney-General. How are we going to handle this issue? This is because we see county governments coming up with projects beyond Kshs5 billion, maybe going within two or three years. We need to bring a further amendment. A lot of corruption has been devolved to the county government level. We need to address this issue."
