Kangogo Bowen","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with you that these reports go to audit committees. So many reports are tabled in this House, including reports from the Auditor-General and they are examined by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Sometimes, they raise issues to do with expenditure in ministries. The reports from the Auditor-General and those from audit committees should be used during the budget-making process to inform the budget, if the Auditor-General has raised concerns of misappropriation of funds in a particular ministry. This will mean that ministry had excess money. Therefore, during the budget-making process, the allocation should be slashed by an equal amount as raised by the Auditor-General, otherwise, what Hon. Millie Odhiambo has said is true. All the reports tabled here are purely cosmetic. They do not inform any legislation in this House. Thank you."}
