    "content": "As has been said here, sometimes it is good for the Committee to speak to us about the issues that we can raise, so that you can look at it much more clearly. Otherwise, I congratulate the Committee. This Committee is probably one of the Committees that has done a very good job. I know that their task is to depend on the reports already given from the Auditor-General and what the management has said. However, now in foresight, they can begin to see how they will bring this accountability to bear on the executives of our counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also understand that there are already some Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission officers who are attached to the Committee. I think some of that information that we have can probably be raised with those particular people so that they can help our Auditor-General with the understanding of the overall situation in the counties. We raised many issues including the way own-source revenue is collected, employment and the bulk of what has happened with the wage bill. We also raised many issues with how procurement, development and appointments are done. As I have seen in other places, there was the issue of; how do you account for things which have been purchased which you cannot really put a finger on? How do you know whether fingerlings went to West Pokot County or to another county? How would you know when there are no lists? I have seen those things raised by people. We have to be much more serious. Sen. M. Kajwang', I think you understand the situation. There are no lists and I have seen that. I have seen those things raised by people. We have to be much more serious. I think Sen. M. Kajwang’ understands the situation and knows West Pokot very well. If I find that the next report is as scanty as this one, I may have to protest."
