    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I take this opportunity to congratulate my very good friend, Hon. Mulyungi, the Chairman of the Decentralised Funds Accounts Committee. This Committee has done a very commendable job. This Report was tabled in December 2021. The House was unable to debate it. However, this Committee had three sittings to consider this Report in a very efficient and effective manner. They discharged their responsibility in a very acceptable manner. I thank them. I also thank the Chairman for being very patriotic and nationalist in his outlook of things. He is here today in spite of the maandamanos that are taking place from his side of the coalition. I thank him because he did not abscond duty. He knew that it is more important to be in the House and discharge his mandate as required by the Constitution of Kenya . We must thank him very much. He has sat throughout and he has not been concerned. There is a Member who walked in and made a lot of noise here. He was not concerned or moved. I saw that his demeanour did not change. He has done a commendable job. This Report is indeed late in its consideration by the National Assembly. This Report touches on the 26 constituencies for the period ranging from 2013 to 2016. Indeed, we are considering a stale Report. Although we consider audit reports as post-mortems, this one over delayed. Even in post-mortem terms, this is rotten. Some of the fund managers supposed to have been held responsible have retired. Terms have expired for some of them and they are no longer in service. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
