    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) as contained in the Report of the Auditor- General on the system’s effectiveness for the period July 2010 to June 2014 as published in November 2016. The IFMIS is a very critical system meant to enhance efficiency in planning, budgeting, procurement, expenditure and reporting. It is also meant to be an end-to-end platform to enhance accountability in Government expenditure and related agencies. The Report of the Auditor- General on IFMIS’ effectiveness for the period July 2010 to June 2014 made fundamental observations and recommendations touching on, among others, the system’s security management administration, stability, performance, integrity, reliability, business continuity, data recovery and network infrastructure. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there have been allegations that in May 2019, the IFMIS erroneously misallocated Kshs10 billion to county governments, which was reflected as allocated, disbursed and spent with budget-lines completely outside the functions of the counties. The IFMIS has also been severally mentioned in scandals, including the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal. In addition, there has been numerous allegations that the system has been hacked several times due to among other concerns, weak and inadequate internal control, lack of functioning audit, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
