    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Report covers three Financial Years: 2013/2014, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. However, we are in the 2019/2020 Financial Year. The latest audited account by the Auditor-General is 2017/2018 Financial Year. In our last meeting in the Committee, we agreed that we need to cover as much ground as possible now. We thank your office for allowing us to retreat this week to cover all the constituencies in the coastal region. It is important for Members to read the audit reports from their constituencies. When issues are picked by the Committee, at times, you find that Members realise them when they are tabled on the Floor here. When the Leader of the Majority Party tables the constituencies audit reports by the Auditor-General, it is important for Members to look at them and see the issues that happen within their constituencies. If you look at this Report, Gatundu North, Juja and Thika Town Constituencies constructed security offices. Up to the time the Report was written, those offices were not occupied. It begs the question whether public participation was done in identifying those projects. That is a waste of funds and yet those are offices that can be utilised to provide security for people within those areas. It is important for Members to look at some of these audit reports."
