    "content": "We have oversight institutions. Parliament, of course, is the apex. The Auditor-General is very key for our performance and yet, his office has not been facilitated enough. Imagine they now have to audit 47 governments in addition to the national Government and other public institutions. But they have not been empowered enough to get resources and have enough personnel to do a proper job. The Constitution is very clear that apart from the usual audit, they should also do performance audit and value for money audit. In the 10th Parliament, I had an opportunity to visit Canada where they do value for money audit. They do not do the usual book audit of papers because papers can be cooked. We should empower the Auditor-General’s Office to do performance audits always. That is why a road in Kenya costs much more than one in Tanzania done by the same contractor. If we did performance audits, we will get rid of that."
