    "content": "Thirdly, and this is the core of the issue in this Report - I urge my colleagues to read it. It has more than 650 pages – it details a lot of issues on how public money is managed once it has been released to the Ministries, agencies and departments of Government of Kenya. It is important for Members to take time to read the Report for them to contribute from a point of knowledge. What comes out clearly and it cuts across as a running thread is the wanton or wastage of public funds. You may call it corruption. Indeed, it is outright theft. It is plain theft found in most of the departments, commissions, Ministries and independent offices. Some of the misuse or wastage of public funds or corruption stems from the fact that this House is sometimes very quick to pass Supplementary Budget Estimates without proper scrutiny. One of the avenues through which public funds are siphoned is the practice of bringing Supplementary Budget Estimates late in the day and hurriedly passing it thereby giving those people an opportunity to misuse public funds."
