    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to congratulate PAC on this excellent Report. It is a 466-page document. They have done well under Article 95(4) (a), (b) and (c) of the Constitution on the role of the National Assembly. This Report of 466 pages for the year 2013/2014 talks about how billions have been lost by this Government when Kenyans are dying of hunger and when our athletes are being mistreated due to lack of funds. Because of time, I just want to touch on a few issues. The first one is that of IFMIS, which has cost this Government Kshs5.5 billion. This is not the exact amount. The amount is yet to be accounted for. The worst part is that the system has not worked. This is based on information from Accounting Officers. We are asking ourselves whether the end has justified the mean for us to spend that Kshs5.5 billion. It is a bit sad when the Ministry of Health and the National Treasury decided to personally attack the Auditor-General using public funds and went ahead and put paid adverts in the dailies. Instead of answering those queries, they are trying to defend themselves. I wish to remind them that the Office of the Auditor-General is a constitutional office and they need to answer those queries instead of coming out to the public."
