    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that this Petition will end up the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, chaired by the Senator for Mandera County. As they look it this matter, it is important that the Committee causes the Auditor-General to look at the mismanagement of funds, especially, locally generated or collected revenue. In My County of Bungoma, the Governor and his government in their own projection indicated that they were going to collect Kshs1.470 billion. At the end of the year, they file a return that they have collected Kshs183 million when records show that they collected Kshs2 billion. So, the rest of the money is misappropriated, stolen and stashed away by people who are uncaring and do not provide services. Therefore, I urge the Committee chaired by the Senator for Mandera to cause the Auditor-General to carry out some forensic audits on locally collected revenue and how it is utilised or where it is banked by governors."
