    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My chairman has ably moved this Motion. This Report was presented to the PAC after thorough due diligence carried out by the competent office of the Clerk of the National Assembly and his officers through a transparent, free and fair, competitive procurement process. This matter is before this House in line with Article 226(4) of the Constitution that gives powers and requires the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya to appoint a professionally qualified accountant to audit and report on the financial statements of the Office of the Auditor-General, an independent office that the architecture of the Constitution 2010 felt in addressing the old age question of who audits the auditor through this provision. So, the framers of the Constitution, both in letter and spirit – in the old system, nobody was auditing the Auditor-General. That is why many people in Kenya do not know that the hunter himself must be audited because the hunter receives resources appropriated by this House. The Auditor-General is given just like the way the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Controller of Budget get money. So, as the Auditor-General hunts down those who misuse public resources within the ambit of the three arms of Government and independent institutions and commissions, he himself will be accountable to the people of Kenya.
