I know that many things have been said, and I do not want to repeat them. I am a proud Kenyan. Athletes have made us one and united country. We are more united than before. I was very impressed by Eliud’s own expression of what his goal is: “No human being is limited.” I am just very proud that he can express himself that way so that he can even say to Mr. Obama, the former President of America, come and let us make athletes and this world a running world because with the running world, it will be a ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to make a few remarks in the way of supporting this report. If you look at the report for West Pokot, you might think that it was an appendix to the reports of all the other counties. It is only two pages long and it addresses the simplest of things. It raises a lot of questions on the standard used to audit.

My suspicion is that some of the counties may have found a way of getting auditors to audit things that will give them a better opinion.

Madam Temporary Speaker, you have heard from the Chairperson that West Pokot County was not treated with the seriousness that it deserves. So, this challenge goes to the auditors from the office of Auditor-General. It causes us to fear and suspect that the things that are more ...
