    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I congratulate Sen. M. Kajwang, the Chairperson of CPAIC for bringing quite a comprehensive report. Given the role of CPAIC as the watchdog for the public purse, we needed to interrogate his report a bit further to ensure we have everything under control with regards to public, county and appropriation expenditure. This is the reason this is one of the Committee‟s report that needs the attention of this House. This is because it establishes fiduciary and other projects based accountability on behalf of the people of Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have noted one thing with this report. I know that previous reports have not been debated as much as today‟s report. Just like you mentioned, we do not want this to be an exercise of ticking the boxes. It is important for us to know some of the unfinished work. I know that the Senator has alluded to some of the county public investments scrutiny that they have done. He has alluded to how they have examined, some of the statements and such things. However, we need to know other outstanding issues so that we can follow them up in the next report. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was hoping that this report will follow the mandate of the Committee as opposed to just saying how many sittings they have had and the statements they have examined so that we look at the outcome vis-a-vis the mandate of the Committee. I would have liked to hear, for example, how the Committee scrutinized public accounts and investments, projects, statements or the report of the Auditor- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
