    "content": "(a) A Statement concerning the status of pending bills at both the national and county governments that was requested by Sen. (CPA.) Farhiya Haji, MP. The committee received a response from the National Treasury. However, the response was scanty to address the issues raised. The committee requested for additional information from the Office of Controller of Budget (CoB). This additional information has since been received and a meeting is scheduled to deliberate on the issues that were raised in the Statement. (b) Regarding a Statement on the award of tenders by the National Treasury, specially permitted procurement procedure requested by Sen. Samson Cherargei, MP. The committee has requested for information from the National Treasury and Planning. The information is yet to be submitted by the National Treasury.

Agnes Muthama, MP, the committee has requested for the information from the National Treasury. The information is yet to be submitted to the committee. (d) There is also a Statement on the financial status of the Nairobi City County, which was requested by Sen. Johnson Sakaja, MP.

The Committee invited the governor to the first meeting on 10th March, 2022, to provide information on the Statement. However, the Governor failed to attend the meeting and also failed to compile with the committee’s request to provide information on the issues that were raised in the Statement. The Committee extended a second invitation to the governor that was slated for 24th March, 2022. The office of the governor informed the Committee that due to unavoidable circumstances, the governor could not attend the meeting. The governor requested the Committee to reschedule the meeting to 14th April, 2022. The Committee, however, resolved to invite the Governor on 28th April, 2022 to shed light on the issues at hand. (g) Another Statement is regarding the efficacy of the IFMIS to the county governments operations, requested by Sen. Petronilla Lokorio Were. The committee considered a response from the National Treasury and found it unsatisfactory. The committee resolved to extensively interrogate this matter. The Committee has held meetings with the CoB, the CoG, the Auditor-General, the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), and the Institute of Certified Public"
