Temporary Speaker, during the last Parliament, I was the Vice-Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee, and I know what auditing is.

Having listened to the Committee Report, all the processes have been followed in terms of procurement of M/s PKF Kenya LLP, as the firm that won the tendering process. Looking at the Report, the right procurement process was followed. The Public Accounts Committee, with its membership, has been convinced that M/s PKF Kenya LLP is the right firm to audit the Auditor-General. The advertisement was done in terms of the successful firm. I am very grateful that the Committee conducted independent audits of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
