    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Didmus from Kimilili for appreciating the work that has been done by this Committee. Basically, it is about leadership. We have a very able chairman who has done a very good job. Today, just as a point of information, I wish to bring to your attention that in the Report before you there are actually 51 reports. It is not one report. It is 51 because we have done 17 constituencies and we have been looking at the audited reports of 2013/2014, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. Having said that, I wish to point out a few things that we came across during our deliberations as we looked into these reports. One, you realise that at times even the bursary that is supposed to be given to our children as early as the beginning of the year we do it even towards the end of the year. It is something very basic. We are in the 21st Century and I do not see why money cannot be transferred electronically whereby at least the fund manager will just be receiving the receipt for the same. If it is done that way, I can assure you the following day the money will be in the account. One of the things that we have just established is that the board itself is not properly constituted. Why should somebody act for almost seven years? If somebody is incompetent, that person should be removed from office. If you know he has been doing a good job this House should stamp its authority and ensure that the CEO is confirmed with immediate effect. Something else that has been pointed out is about projects that were transferred to the county governments. It is true that in most dispensaries right now there is nothing we can do. Probably, there should have been a grace period during which the projects that were started by the NG-CDF should be completed first. If the county governments have not taken them over, it 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."
