    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for honouring your word. First of all, I want to thank PAC for the work it has done. This is the first time I have seen a report written without quarrels or complaints from the members of the Committee. I would like it to be clear that public resources must be used well. Whenever we have audits in our Government institutions, we must bring to account some people who may have gone against the traditions or against the law. Some people need to go behind bars to become an example to others. Those resources come from citizens’ tax and people work hard in order to get that money. Whenever we give back to the public, we must ensure that we are giving the right services and goods with regard to their needs. We should come up with projects that will raise their standard of living. When you see the misuse and mismanagement of those resources, you feel very bad. Accounting officers have failed to demonstrate to auditors how they spent their money. They have failed to provide documentation. I do not see the reason an auditor should entertain an Accounting Officer who has no documentation at his place of work. Every shilling that has been spent is public money and the Accounting Officer must demonstrate how that money was spent. People who are concerned with the accounting of those resources must be brought to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
