    "content": "Two weeks ago I was in the United States of America, Washington DC, where we visited the Government Accountability Office, which is in charge of issues to do with value for money. Something we learnt that Kenya should borrow is that about 70 to 80 per cent of the recommendations from the Government Accountability Office are implemented by the executive. When we come to this country some of the recommendations we get from the Auditor-General, if you look at the percentage that is being implemented, you will find that it is really insignificant. In this case the three critical offices in fighting corruption particularly the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has been given good money. We call upon the Office of the DPP to have experts. We have seen many cases where people are taken to court and there is not enough evidence and they are set free. We want professionals to be recruited and be retrained so that if somebody is arraigned in court, the probability of success so that we can surcharge those particular persons, is high."
