    "content": "give a bonus at the end of the year. That way, the temptations arising out of “survival corruption” do not affect the operations of this critical office. For me, the critical functions of this office are the ones which are now new and set out in Clauses 34 to 38. Clause 34 says: “The Auditor-General shall conduct audits of financial statements under Article 229 for state organs and public entities and report annually to Parliament and the relevant county assembly.” Those are for the organizations I have mentioned. Clause 35 says: “TheAuditor-General shall conduct performance audit to examine the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which public money has been expended pursuant to Article 229 of the Constitution.” Regarding performance audit, the Auditor-General does not have to wait until the Greenfield project is finished at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). Immediately the contractor breaks ground, the Auditor-General should appear there to find out whether the resources which have been allocated for mobilization have been used for that purpose or not. Whether, indeed, what the functionaries at the county level say they have used to build Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes are being properly used; if the money sent to counties has been used to buy stones or has gone into people’s pockets. You do not have to wait for the ECD classroom to be complete; you can be there immediately the first stones have been purchased. Clause 36 says: “The Auditor-General may, upon request by Parliament, conduct forensic audit to establish fraud, corruption or other financial improprieties.” When Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale grows old, he will be remembered in the history of the National Assembly as the person who took many bulls by the horns. However, we have heaped heavy responsibilities on him. When he brings information here, we ask him to go and substantiate."
