    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the memorandum before the House on which a decision is being made has been brought by the President who has told the country that he is committed to fight against corruption. I appeal to the President, the Senate Majority Leader and the entire membership of the House from the Jubilee side, because looking at them, they are younger Members of this House, by allowing the death of the Office of the Auditor-General, they are, therefore, saying they support corruption. Kenyans have fought for this long before they left primary school. Kenyans will not stop. At the end of the next few months, some of us shall be replaced, others shall come back and the country hopes that the fight against corruption shall be won. There is no way the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget or the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee can speak with finality unless guided by the reports of the Auditor-General. So, if we make it a weak office, we will never have answers. Not in this House, not in the lower House. Answers on the scandals of Eurobond, Galana Irrigation project, NYS or procurement of specialized medical equipment. We must fight corruption. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President is wrong. All of you who want to vote for this Bill will also be wrong. Kindly change your minds. Let us disagree with the Committee by leaving the Bill as it was."
