    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Leader of the Majority Party for the opportunity. I would like to support the Supplementary Budget that is currently under debate. The Committee has done a good job. However, going forward, I suggest or recommend that we increase the allocation to the Office of the Auditor-General, so that it can put in place human resource and structures to audit public expenditure. If you give the Office of the Auditor- General Kshs5.8 million only for auditing services, you create room for public officers to loot money because there are no clear monitoring systems. Going forward, if we put in more money into the Office of the Auditor-General, we shall strengthen that institution, so that we can fight corruption both at the national Government and county government levels. Lastly, I also request that KRA be involved in the collection of county revenue because collection clerks and governors just collude. There are no systems in place for one to account for the proper collection of money that is levied at the county level. If we involved KRA in the collection of the levies and the money goes back to the county for expenditure, we will have a system whereby we know how much a county has collected and how much is going to be spent for prudent expenditure."
