    "content": "of debt that the Government has acquired on their behalf has gone towards improving their livelihoods. Only then, shall we have satisfied the requirements of Article 201(c) of the Constitution which obligates all of us to ensure that the burdens and benefits of the use of resources and public borrowing shall be shared equally between the present and future generations. I am happy to report that the National Treasury recognises this need and together with the relevant Committees of this House, namely, PAC, PIC, Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade will be working on convening a national conference later this year to exhaustively discuss this matter of Kenya’s public debt. I wish to thank all the 27 Members of my Committee who put long hours into this work. Our work is in no way a walk in the park. Members worked late into the night and avoided going to their constituencies so that they can produce these 466 pages of the Report that we have tabled here as Volume I plus the attachments. To all the Members, I want to thank you for your dedication and service to your motherland. Working in PAC in the circumstances that we have now is a risk to our career growth. These Members have taken a risk. I wish this House would note what these Members had to forego. On behalf of PAC, it is now my pleasant duty, honour and immense privilege to move this Report, and urge this House to adopt it with the recommendations therein. I wish to call upon the able Vice-Chairman of the Committee, Member of Parliament for Kipkelion West, Hon. Jackson Rop, to second the Report. Thank you."
