    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. The CRA that has just been replaced did not do a very good job in some requirements of the law. One of the functions of the CRA is to make recommendations on matters concerning financial management by county governments as required by the Constitution and any other legislation. Concerning Corruption in counties, there is no report before this House or in public that was given by the CRA. There is no report whatsoever that shows they ever raised alarm when things were going wrong in counties. The amount of money that has been stolen and pilfered by county governments is untold. I hope Mrs. Jane and my friends in the new Commission, including Prof. Oyugi Akong’o, will adhere to that part of the Constitution. This is because it is a constitutional requirement. They must tell us where we have gone wrong apart from giving money. They must move further and work with the Controller of Budget. A couple of years ago, there was controversy in this House. I attempted to take away money from the failed Jubilee computer project and add it to the Office of the Auditor-General so that we could have properly functioning offices of the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget for real time auditing in counties. At that time, my friend Hon. Gikaria whom I see paying close attention, was very hostile. I only want to remind him that the computers, which are now being called ‘gadgets’, were never delivered. That is just another failed project of the Jubilee administration. I hope this Commission will not sit back and watch them fail this country; not even in the remaining six months, because we are saying goodbye to them. With that, I am very sure Kenyans will not be so foolish to elect a government which is lazy, corrupt and just absent.
