    "content": "clear. Moving forward, it becomes very easy for institutions that are supposed to do enforcement work. Therefore, I want to see for once that the country is getting value for paying the Office of the Auditor-General. We are aware that it is an independent office. It is supposed to work independently. This House, I believe, has given sufficient support to the Auditor-General. I know the last term he was saying that he needed to be funded sufficiently and adequately to carry out his work. Therefore, I want to support that his office should be capacitated ably and sufficiently to carry out his work. He needs the political goodwill to ensure that he does what he needs to do. There are issues that he has raised regarding the NG-CDF. I do not know whether Members are concerned regarding how we are supposed to show proof in terms of offices of the NG-CDF, proving by way of receipts payments to bursaries. Many schools that we pay cheques to do not keep the receipts as proof that the NG-CDF has paid bursaries. When the Auditor-General’s report comes, there is an outcry that there is money that is lost. However, the cheques speak for themselves. The offices of the National Treasury in our sub-counties are also clear that we have paid. In short, I support this Report. I am still feeling bad about us not going to the vote yesterday. Generals continue with the war. Losing one battle does not mean we have lost the war. Therefore, I encourage the Members who were keenly following the two-thirds gender Bill. When I was thinking about it at night, looking at the question on spending that seems to be blurring the genuine constitutional debate, I said we needed gadgets called “mindthömeters”. We should even look for a technology to “heartthometer” some of the people in this House. There should have a “heartthometer” to measure the heart of the Leader of the Majority Party who was the Mover of the Bill. With those remarks, I support. If you look at those who are not here, it means yesterday was a good moment for those who were championing that Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that time."
