    "content": "have to give a hand on that. Given that there are many corruption cases in this country every hour, every day and every week, month in and month out, we have a problem in this country. As the Legislature, we may have to go a step further. Misusing funds and resources that are very meagre in this country is not acceptable. Apart from locking people at Kamiti because of misuse of funds, we should go further to think of how to bring a motion to provide for those who have misused public funds to firing squads, like what happens in China. That information comes from the auditor’s report and other reports we get every day. We cannot stop corruption in this country if we will not be very stern on whatever outcome. I believe that the report we are going to get from the external auditor will be above board. I hope and pray that Dr. Ouko, who has worked very well for the last eight years, has done a good job. I think on service, he has done a good job. However, let us see how far he has done in the last five years. The only thing that the Chair of PAC did not tell us is the timeframe. We need to know. This must be given a timeframe. We should not leave it open-ended. The auditor that has been appointed competitively should come up with a timeframe to know exactly what they are auditing so that we can be rest assured that everything is above board. More importantly, for those who have been found culpable, apart from locking them up and recovering the assets they have bought using resources they stole from public coffers, we should come up with the alternative of them facing firing squads, like what happens in China. That is the only way we will deter people from stealing our meagre resources. Some of us work very hard and others take the easier way out. That is the only way. With those few remarks, I support the appointment of this professional accountant, hoping that he will work within the limited time given to them so that we can see whether we are doing the right thing or not. I support the Motion."
