    "content": "On a point of order, Hon. Speaker, I have not come to sell mitumba in this House. So, whenever I speak, I must be up to something sensible. Hon. Speaker, the matter of the day is that our political parties are accountable to the funding they receive from the Government. His party, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), according to the Auditor General, has not accounted for over Kshs19 million. The Forum for Restoration of Democracy- Kenya (FORD (K) has not accounted for the money that they received. The National Alliance (TNA) Party, which is my own, has not submitted. He should address that. How come even the PAC, in the last three years after receiving 60 audited reports from 60 political parties, has not dealt with that matter? This is the direction I am asking from. Whether I am up to something, I just picked on Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) and their records are clean. I looked at ODM, they have an outstanding audit query of Kshs19 million, unless Hon. Jakoyo knows where the Kshs19 million went. I think the Chairman and the Secretary General are better placed to reply to that matter. So, what I am asking is: Can we audit all political parties? I am up to nothing but, of course, when I walk in this House, I represent the people of Garissa Township. Secondly, I represent the Jubilee Coalition. Thirdly, I do my oversight whether it is on the national Government or the ODM. For today, I am protecting the money that has been paid by party members who are sitting in this House to the secretariats. That money has been misappropriated by people we entrusted those offices with. So, Hon. Jakoyo, I am not up to anything. Relax. Since I have said ODM has not accounted for Kshs19 million, there is nothing wrong with it. It is the Auditor General and not Hon. Duale. If I was the Auditor-General, I would have said no. For now, the Auditor General has said you have not accounted for Kshs19 million and you should address that matter."
