Pursuant to Standing Order 206 of the National Assembly, the PIC-GE is responsible for the examination of the working of public investment entities based on their audited reports and accounts. The Committee is mandated to examine the reports and accounts of public investment entities; the reports, if any, of the Auditor-General on the public investment entities; and, in the context of the autonomy and efficiency of public investments entities, the Committee is required to establish whether the affairs of the public investment entities are being managed in accordance with sound financial or business principles or prudent commercial practices. Hon. Speaker, the Committee is limited to a schedule of entities as provided by this House and guided by you in Standing Order 206. The last such schedule was issued on 8th December 2022. My Committee is responsible for 29 public investment entities. I have since engaged with your office to review some of these agencies, which we feel fall under our Committee but have been put under several other committees. We are awaiting your communication on the matter. The Committee proceeded to map out the 189 entities based on their functions and geographical location for systematic examination. This Report is the first of such and covers regulatory and governance agencies domiciled within Nairobi and Central regions. In this Report, the Committee handled the following agencies: 1. Kenya Institute of Special Education; 2. Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development; 3. National Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI); 4. Council of Legal Education; 5. Kenya National Qualification Authority; 6. Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI); 7. School Equipment Production Unit (SEPU); 8. Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA); 9. TVET Curriculum Development Assessment and Certification Council; 10. Auctioneers Licensing Board; 11. Higher Education Loans Board; 12. Kenya Literature Bureau; 13. Commission for University Education; 14. Kenya National Examination Council; 15. Jomo Kenyatta Foundation; 16. Centre for Mathematics Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA); 17. Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS); 18. Kenya National Commission for UNESCO (KNATCOM); 19. JKUAT Enterprises Limited; 20. JKUAT Noodles Limited; 21. National Council for Nomadic Education in Kenya; 22. University of Nairobi Enterprise and Services Limited (UNES); and, 23. Kenya National Innovation Agency. Hon. Speaker, in the examination of this Report, the Committee decided to go back three financial years after analysis showed that matters beyond that time had either been overtaken by events or matters which were outstanding and, therefore, needed to be addressed had been recurring in subsequent audit reports. The Committee had 18 sittings, during which we examined the audited financial statements of 23 State Corporations and the accompanying reports by the Auditor-General.
