    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, irrespective of how many petitions may be raised with respect to the activities in Vihiga County, they are very important in this House. Those of us who are in the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee see a trend where the audit system is a sampling system. The Governors have crafted all manner of ways of embezzling funds and, somehow, they are able to compromise the auditors so that they look at one item and not another one. Sometimes the Senate Committee may be spending a lot of time on cents and not shillings and pounds. So, if we have petitioners who are courageous enough to pick items which they know for sure, that there has been malfeasance, it is very important for this House to look at that petition. Allow me to mention that this House came up with a County Development Board whose part of the agenda was that by the time the accounts for a particular County come before the Senate, a Member of the Senate from that County would have had an insight on items which may have been deliberately or inadvertently left out in the audit system. This Audit is very important and we should request the relevant Committee to do its work expeditiously so that we can start unraveling the mess in that county."
