    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the EMU was established by the Government on 27th October, 1991 with the following mandates:- 1. To undertake systems audit and make recommendations for addressing organizational and system challenges that impede performance of public sector institutions; 2. To undertake value for money and performance audits; 3. Undertake routine efficiency audits to ensure effective, efficient and ethical results for Kenyans; 4. Study, monitor and analyze the implementation of the Government programmes and projects and advise on the problems being encountered as well as remedial measures; 5. Monitor the extent to which completed development projects are meeting their stated objectives 6. Assess their sustainability and make necessary recommendations, and finally, 7. Monitor, review current procedures and practices for collecting Government revenue and suggest more efficient ways of maximising revenue collection. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform this House that all the reports and recommendations made by the EMU are binding on the Government and they have been implemented to the letter. All reports are also submitted to the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC) for criminal investigations. While investigations are underway, officers are either interdicted or suspended depending on the nature of the malpractice. Since the formation of the Grand Coalition Government, the EMU has carried investigations in 14 public institutions. During the year 2008/2009 Financial Year, the Unit undertook investigations in ten public institutions while in the current financial year it has undertaken investigations in four institutions. These were exemplary achievements given that among them were milestone cases of the Kenya Tourism Board, Kenya Tourism Development Corporation and Agricultural Finance Corporation which resulted in the prosecution of several senior civil servants, including a Permanent Secretary."
