"content": "I thank the outgoing Committee, some of whose Members have been retained. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee, the Senator of Homa Bay, who did a sterling job. Since this is a Sessional Committee, changes are always likely to be there. I also thank Sen. Faki of Mombasa and hope the new Members will do us proud. We want a situation where all the work of oversight and audit in respect of accounts of the national Government and county governments can be seen actively in the work of this Committee. Sometimes I believe that if these committees can do their work properly, then we can be a step ahead even of the other institutions such as the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) or the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP). The answer is not in arresting people, but making sure that no money that belongs to the taxpayer is lost I hope that this Committee will not shy away from meeting its responsibility of oversight, and naming and shaming those that may be responsible for taking away money unlawfully from the public and the taxpayers."
