    "content": "Sen. Omanga has a witness in the House. In case there is an issue with her then there is a witness who is Sen. Farhiya. There is that period and it is by default or by design by some counties to delay in submission of those documents. That is why sometime we have demanded for administrative action against officers who delay in submitting those documents the Auditor-General needs. We have questioned them on the exit and entry meetings and the management letter that is written by the Auditor-General. However, it looks like some counties are on a mischief mission where they ensure that they do not submit those documents for their own reasons. There is mischief going on. There was a situation involving a governor from North Eastern Kenya. I do not want to name them because a number of votes might get lost. He came to the Committee and told us that the original documents had been swept away by floods, but they had photocopies. Those are some of the challenges. Sometimes it sounds like comedy when you sit in that Committee. I think that was the current governor of Garissa County, hon. Ali Korane. Those are some of the challenges that include poor documentation and poor record-keeping. The reallocation of funds also became a challenge. As a Senate, we need to make a radical decision before I come to recommendation. Reallocation is normally violation of Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. We have been lenient because we did not want to take all accounting officers to jail."
