    "content": "our able Chair for the good job we have done. We have interrogated 72 corporations and we have realised that they have done an injustice to this country. I do not think if most of them know the procedures. Procurement procedures and rules are there. These are supposed to be followed and seen to be working. The financial regulations are also there but nobody follows them. The CEOs of those parastatals do whatever they want like giving advances and loans to themselves. They also give money without consulting anyone, not even their mother ministries. Surely, you wonder what they are doing to this country. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is an entity that is supposed to give directions to other financial institutions. However, you will find that they do not even follow the Auditor-General’s regulations. They only consult their own auditors wherever they think about. It is very sad. We want to see the corporations doing the right things so that Kenyans can get value for their money. We need this money to develop Kenya. We need finances so that we can build schools for our children and equip our health institutions and take care of our people. This is because healthy people are able to work for our country and make us develop and progress. However, if we have these CEOs who do not care and do not follow the rules of the country, we will go down the drain. As a Committee, we request and recommend that this Report should be adopted so that those people can be held accountable, be responsible and also answer to the Kenyan people according to the laws and regulations of this country. I support the Report and we want to see it being implemented as soon as possible. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
