    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to contribute to this very important Report. First, let me thank the Chairman of the Committee for the very many sittings that they have held. I know that they have conducted almost 100 sittings. This is real commitment and credible leadership provided by the Chairman of the Committee. I also take the opportunity to thank the hon. Members who were also gallant in terms of contributing to this very important Report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I note with some frustration that the accounting officers who were called time and again to make their presentations to the Committee, at times were not compliant and non-co-operative. To some extent, they failed to provide the required evidence and documentation. That means that the Committee was impeded in terms of faster compilation of the Report. I propose, therefore, that the incompetent accounting officers must be treated in the best way possible in terms of instilling discipline and to some extent, sanctioning them. They are letting the nation down and that translates to another type of impunity. Concerning the investigating agency, I note that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) is doing well but it is high time that it is expanded so that it can give satisfactory services to all the Ministries. Therefore, it requires more funding so that more people could be employed to serve Kenyans well. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, delay of information by the investigating agencies has also caused some delay in composing this report. Therefore, the investigating agencies must wake up and be faster so that the Committee’s objectives could be realized."
