    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute on the Presidential Speech. I would like to contribute on various sectors in regard to the Presidential Speech. The first sector is the overall environment of the country as pertains economy, especially in line with the issue of corruption. What happened yesterday where all the procurement officers and principal accounting officers of various ministries or all ministries were thrown out of the offices is unnecessary. I have seen a circular from the Head of the Public Service. What they are trying to do, if you look at the circular, is purely looking at the wealth and how they can subject the officers to explain how they acquired the wealth. This is a lifestyle audit. For you to carry out a lifestyle audit, you do not need to bundle all officers out of the office at this crucial period when we are completing a financial year. The implication is that the Kenya Revenue Authority will not meet its tax obligations because they are supposed to process payment including payments that are due to it. It will incur some shortfall in revenue collection. The solution to that is to target individual officers. Do not put a blanket or subject all the officers under lifestyle audit at the same time. Within 30 days, you cannot carry out thorough work. The President is surrounded by hyenas who do not advise him; they misadvise him. How would you investigate all these officers within 30 days? The best thing the President should do is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
