    "content": "We have seen that there has been wastage in most of the parastatals and lack of planning. We have also experienced opportunities where people looted money and we have not followed up on embezzlement of public funds. I want to thank the President for making it possible for us to save some parastatals which are so crucial to the economy of this nation. At the age of 18 years, I had the opportunity to be recruited into Mumias Sugar Company, where I was trained before I went to the university and during the time that I was in the university. This company has contributed a lot to this nation and for the President to make a bold step to save this parastatal, is an indication of a commitment that we care for the whole nation. In reports, we have seen deterioration of certain companies like the Telkom Kenya, Kenya Railways, Kenya Airport Authority and many others. What I can say is that in order to save these companies, we need to empower the Office of the Auditor- General. We need to make it strong. We need to provide funds for it so that they can interrogate accounts for the very many organizations that fall under the PIC."
