    "content": "When Committees used to do what they are supposed to do, if you order for a special audit, you do not give the Auditor-General an open cheque. Hon. Gikaria, a special audit should be conducted within a period of either 30 days or 45 days, and not two years so that, if they do not, then you report them here. The Auditor-General is an officer of Parliament. That office reports to Parliament. In fact, it is a technical arm of Parliament as far as financial matters, especially those to do with expenditure of public resources, are concerned. You can ask Hon. Wamunyinyi and he will tell you that when he used to chair that Committee, that is what used to happen. You do not give orders which are open-ended. A special audit must be conducted within a specified period of time. Hon. Duale also took leave because as this was happening, I saw the Member for Ikolomani, whom all of you shouted to be the Vice-Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, stroll into the House almost one hour after the House started. The Member for Ikolomani, Hon. Shinali, the House starts at 2.30 p.m. just in case you may have forgotten. There was a request from Hon. Duale. Get in touch with the Whip of the Majority Party. He will brief you because it will take a long time if we begin explaining to you now. Next is a general statement by Hon. Dennitah Ghati."
