    "content": "There is the issue of capacity building. When it comes to corruption, it is not only public servants who are involved in corruption. We also have partnerships and performers in the private sector who initiate corruption practices. The Auditor-General should have the freedom and powers to sue such institutions. We need to capture this very clearly in this Bill. Empowerment, therefore, of the Auditor-General’s Office is very important. This House should find it of interest to empower the Auditor-General. If, indeed, he has to bring order even in the private sector then he must rise above board so that he can address all the players in this sector. The constitutional provision on equitable distribution of resources to the counties and other sectors in this country should be upheld. The Auditor-General should find it in his interest to also examine this within public institutions. We have instances in public institutions where the Executive carry on meetings in their mother tongue. The Auditor- General needs to stretch his interest in such areas because we would like to achieve equity and avoid gap discrimination. The advisory board proposed here is important. This is because the Auditor- General needs to have source of power and guidance. We need to have others contributing on this matter. I support this Bill especially as far as regularizing our operations and embracing our national values are concerned. I thank you very much."
