    "content": "We should also check the way people are recruited to State corporations. You will find that when a manager is put there, he tries to put his cronies and tribesmen and women such that the corporation takes a tribal line which is not good for the country. We should also consider the implementation of this Report. I tend to think that reports are not properly implemented and that is why we keep on having the same issues. In other jurisdictions like Uganda, police officers sit in the PAC to find out whether a CEO of a particular agency should be investigated. They take such CEOs from the meeting to police cells and the due process of the law starts. In our case, we come up with very good reports that recommend the EACC to take over and take the CEOs through the correct procedure. At the end of the day, this does not happen. We then keep on allocating finances to the same areas. In other countries, they attach the budgeting system to the accounting part. If you are a CEO and you cannot account properly for the money that was given to you, you are not given more money before you can account for the previous allocation. This is what we should do. In general, we should try to change and ensure that our State corporations are run smoothly and prudently to compete with private organisations. I know there are some corporations that are doing well. I support the Report."
