    "content": "One of the biggest issues, even as the auditors use the private auditors, is the fact that the PIC is like a postmortem body. Most of the time, we unearth very serious issues or malpractices in these parastatals. However, what usually happens with these reports? Are they implemented? What do the bodies that are mandated with ensuring that the money is recovered do? I do not know whether it is the role of the Committee on Implementation of this House. We have had recommendations in the past because this is not the first Report. We have recommended prosecution and recovery and this has not been implemented several years later. Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is one of those bodies that I do not know whom they take the instructions from because we have made some recommendations. A very good example is the maize imported by a company that even had people who were still in Government offices. Even with a court order in place, that issue was left unattended to and that company still went untouched. The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is an organisation that deals with taxpayer’s money. Kenyans have lost money despite the fact that the PIC spent a lot of time and money to get these facts and come up with recommendations. So, we need to see how the recommendations can be implemented conclusively. Otherwise, it is going to be a waste of time to come up with good reports which are not acted upon."
