    "content": "The Office of the Auditor-General should be devolved to various counties so that for money sent to counties, there is an audit by an external office which is not under the county government. That audit will help because right now the way money is being used in the counties is as if there is no control because the only control is in Nairobi, in the Transition Authority and the Auditor-General’s Office. So the Office of the Auditor- General should be devolved so that weekly and daily checks can be done on how the county governments are using the money. Some county governments are using the money properly but others are not even able to use the money. They are returning it unused. They are given money and they are returning it. So if there is an Auditor-General’s Office within the counties, the people managing the counties, the public officers, can also get advice on the expenditure and how they can use that money. On the reserve bank, Kenya releases money to parastatals which then put the money to commercial banks at certain interests. When counties do not have money, they borrow the same money at double interest rates."
