    "content": "Various Articles of the Constitution have been touched in this Bill to improve the process of authorisation of public funds. The Bill gives the Controller of Budget powers to approve withdrawal of public funds from any account like the Consolidated Fund and any other fund that directly benefits Kenyans. The Controller of Budget, Accounting Officers and the Auditor- General should be in line so that public resources are properly channelled and supervised. When the process is over, namely, it is controlled by the Controller of Budget, the Accounting Officer incurs the expenditure. Then the Auditor-General audits the funds and reports are brought to Parliament through the Public Accounts Committee and the Public Investments Committee, for it to check whether the money was spent properly by the Accounting Officer. After this, the budget cycle will be complete. But somehow somewhere, there is a mix up of the whole process and it is not possible to trace where the money goes."
