    "content": "Nairobi City County, where a tender was given for garbage collection for a whooping Kshs570 million. Payments were made, but there are no documents or records for payment totalling Kshs441 million. Just imagine that there are no support payments totalling Kshs441 million. Honestly, if this money is ending up in people’s pockets, this should attract the eyes and attention of the EACC. If you steal Kshs441 million from a county, when will this country ever attain development? We can excuse you, if you are stealing Kshs10, 000 but, surely, Kshs441 million! Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a serious general problem in most of our counties. We have poor record keeping. Information Technology (IT) has not been embraced by the counties and this creates a very fertile ground for money to be embezzled. I hope that going forward, we will see some improvement from the counties in terms of record keeping and availing of records and documents to the Office of the Auditor-General so that we have information that is factual when the financial reports of counties are prepared."
