    "content": "(Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai): Hon. Millie together with the House, I would like to refer to the Constitution, Article 229 on the Auditor General which states thus: “1. There shall be an Auditor-General who shall be nominated by the President and, with the approval of the National Assembly, appointed by the President. 2. To be qualified to be the Auditor-General, a person shall have extensive knowledge of public finance or at least ten years experience in auditing or public finance management. 3. The Auditor-General holds office, subject to Article 251, for a term of eight years and shall not be eligible for re-appointment. 4. Within six months after the end of each financial year, the Auditor-General shall audit and report, in respect of that financial year, on…” Then all the roles are indicated. So, for the purpose of record, this being a House of records, I would like us not to have the words “presentation for cosmetic purposes”, because this is in our Constitution and it is clearly stipulated in Article 229. And when you go to (h), as I indicated earlier that these reports go to relevant committees, it states: “(h) the accounts of any other entity that the legislation requires the Auditor General to audit.” It is from one to four and then 4 (a) to (h) indicating all these various committees where these reports should go. And below there, No. 8 states: (8) Within three months after receiving an audit report, Parliament or the county assembly shall debate and consider the report and take appropriate action."
