Today, they can afford to put up houses worth hundreds of millions of shillings. I have been in this House for the last nine years. I cannot say that I am one of the most poorly paid Kenyans, but when somebody who probably earns less than me puts up a house worth hundreds of millions of shillings, then this aspect of ensuring prudent and efficient use of public funds that we have given to the Controller of Budget must also include an aspect of policing. In fact, one of the things that we should allow the Controller of Budget to do, working together with the Auditor-General, is to conduct lifestyle audits. I should explain how I can afford to build a house worth hundreds of millions of shillings if I was living in grass-thatched houses three years ago.
