    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, we are not necessarily waiting for the Act. Under the Kenya Local Government Reform Programme, there are already over 56 local authorities that we have been placed under this programme. This is basically the financial management manual and guidelines for them to improve their financial management. This is an ongoing programme. We intend to roll it out to all the other local authorities. In addition to that, all local authorities must now have an audit committee. This was the committee that was never there. We would have the usual finance committee, the planning committee and so forth. We have given directions that all local authorities must have an audit committee to help them improve their financial management. In addition to that, we have programmes that work on capacity building for the local authorities. We are trying to find mechanisms of improving the capacity of the personnel who particularly handle matters of finance in local authorities."
