    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the EACC needs to take these issues more seriously, because counties have become so fraudulent to a level where there are such glaring mistakes in the audit report. If there is nothing happening year in, year out, then devolution will just die a natural death as we all watch. The other issue is that I want to bring an amendment to ensure that the Chief Officer Finance is someone who is a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). That way, they can be regulated, as professionals sitting in that Committee and overseeing malpractices. For example, my own county of Wajir has been number one in the corruption index for three consecutive years. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is the use of EACC conducting such a survey, then when they get the results, they do nothing with them? It appears as if everybody is conspiring to kill devolution in this country. Those institutions need to stand to be counted, and do their job so that they bring these people to book. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
