    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the statement made by the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Indeed, it represents the deliberations of the conference. I also want to thank the Clerk of the National Assembly for ably representing the leadership of the House and highlighting some of the issues, especially from an accounting officer’s perspective, so that it is not just we looking but we had live input from an accounting officer. I also want to add onto what Hon. Mbadi mentioned. The conference was not just a meeting of Vice-Chairs and Chairs but included accounting officers, so that there is concurrence across the board in terms of how oversight will take place. Hon. Speaker, as you rightly mentioned, I have been in this House for the last two years in this new dispensation and one of the things to note is that there has been total lack of oversight of the Executive except on operational matters. We would be happy to ask the CS for Education why a child was killed in school and not what they have done in terms of education to achieve impact and to ensure that educational standards go up. Similarly, from the questions and petitions coming on the Floor, you will see clearly that the direction we are moving to is not in checking what the trillions of money are doing to change the lives of Kenyans in this country. From how you quite ably put it, we start by talking about the inputs and not the activities that are then captured in the financial statements."
