    "content": "the stereotypes that have been formed by SRC about MPs and certain categories of civil servants like teachers will be corrected. We want a Commission that will comply with the Constitution and generally work for Kenyans. It should not talk only about a certain cadre of people. I urge her to ensure that the Constitution is complied with. For record purposes, currently the SRC is breaking the law and pretending to be above the law. Last week during the processing of the Supplementary Budget, SRC appeared before our Committee and presented a request to be given some funds and yet, they had already planned a workshop. They waste public money on a workshop to talk about the public wage bill. This House had not approved that. We are still discussing the Supplementary Budget and yet, they did the workshop last week. So, a special audit should be done on SRC to ensure that they comply with the law. How did they spend public money without the approval of this House? In the last Financial Year Budget, they had a Supplementary Budget to procure vehicles as if there was an emergency. We did not approve that. Therefore, that was irregular and they are supposed to be surcharged. In fact, this is a constitutional commission that should follow the law. I am sure Hon. Amina Abdalla, who is able, is going to bring order in the SRC. We are also considering making some recommendations, so that the SRC toes the line. I want to thank the Office of the Clerk for the support they gave us during this process. I also thank the Office of the Speaker. We got a lot of support from the office. I also thank the Members of this House for their support during this process. Finally, I thank the members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. That was a job well done. I beg to reply."
