Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also rise to support the amendment in particular in reference to the Memorandum of Objects that we have. If you look at Part III, I believe that the concerns and the fears of the Leader of the Majority Party will be taken care of. We indicated that we would want to ensure that there would be a deliberate effort in terms of negotiation or obtaining of contract that would not go contrary to anti-corruption crimes or any other behavior that is not in line with the law. I support this because it will ...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order, in a parliamentary House where we have order not only of business but also of engaging, to refer to Hon. Members who are chairing a Committee as women? Is it also in order for the Leader of the Majority of Party to refer to me while talking on the Floor as a nominated Member? When I was swearing, I was guided that there is only one code. When I was sworn, I did not say, “I, Prof. Jacqueline Oduol, Nominated Member.” Is this in order, because I ...

A number of Kenyans, when they hear the term “Auditor-General”, they tend to make judgements that do not really get them to appreciate the role of the Auditor-General. That office derives its authority from Article 229 of the Constitution. But much more importantly, the role of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

It is for this reason that I support this Report. I want to first indicate that it would be really important, as we look at the recommendations, to note that the Committee has been thorough. As has been pointed out by colleagues here, I want to laud the Auditor-General. I hope we will not be giving him responsibility to report on what should be standard practice. For example, I refer to the recommendation with regard to documentation on financial statements and the recommendation that would be indicating that Cabinet Secretaries take immediate action to ensure ministries, department and agencies adhere ...

When we are looking at IFMIS, and we know that the very purpose of coming up with IFMIS was to get an independent system that would enable us to manage and safeguard public funds, we find that the very system seems to be creating a problem.
