    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. If there is one very important office that the new Constitution brought forth, it is the Office of the Controller of Budget. This office, being one of the independent offices in the country, is very important in providing checks and balances for every system, both in the county government and the national Government. The Office of the Controller of Budget, so far, has become a good regulatory measure in our expenditure of public finances. Harmonisation has been brought by this office. This office is important and should continue to exercise its duty as the current holder has done, with great independence, a lot of autonomy and with due respect to the rule of law. Like all other independent offices, this office needs people of high integrity. Even as the Controller of Budget requests for staff to be seconded to that office, they should be people of integrity and with the necessary expertise. This is important. I support the Bill."
