    "content": "alleging that the Governor was issued with imprest, but never travelled or surrendered the imprest. The County Assembly on prosecuting only prosecuted two out of the 12. The County Assembly brought 12 allegations and only prosecuted two and abandoned 10. The Governor adduced evidence of the travel and where the travel was never undertaken, the imprest was surrendered throughout the time. The Committee observes that Accounting Officers must adhere to the Public Finance Management Act of 2012, which requires imprest to be surrendered within seven days. In the event of delay, the refund should be made with interest. Governor Anne Waiguru was supposed to travel in January, but refunded the imprest in April. We, as a Committee, noted that, that was a malpractice which should not be entertained. The Accounting Officer should ensure that such members of the Public Service should be surcharged in case they do not remit or account for the imprest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee, therefore, finds that this allegation was proved, but does not amount to an impeachable offence."
