    "content": "For the last 15 years, more than Kshs15 billion has been spent on the development of IFMIS. If a proper audit is done, I am sure we will realise that IFMIS is bigger than the Anglo Leasing scandal or any other financial scandal in this country. I am a software engineer and I want to inform this House that in software development, systems are only developed once in a lifetime. However, it is like IFMIS is developed every year. If you check the financial books of last year, you will see that IFMIS was allocated more than Kshs1 billion. In the Supplementary Budget, it has again been allocated Kshs1billion. I want the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to scrutinise and audit IFMIS. This is a software and Information Communication Technology (ICT) system. I do not know why this system is being run and managed at Treasury. It should be under the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology. I know that the devil hides in the details because most Members do not understand what this system entails. It is supposed to be an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERPS) for the Government, but you will still find that there is an Integrated Payroll and Personnel Database (IPPD) which is different from IFMIS."
