    "content": "The Committee has further conducted inspection visits to Kilifi, Mombasa and Kwale Counties between 22nd April to 24th April, 2025. Moving forward, we plan to undertake similar visits to all the other remaining counties with a focus on high-risk fiduciary investments facing hospitals, water companies and municipalities with significant financial vulnerabilities. The Committee further held a stakeholders’ engagement retreat on 25th and 26th April in Mombasa, bringing together the Office of the Auditor General, Controller of Budget (CoB), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The retreat was aimed at familiarizing the new Members with the working relationship between the Committee and these independent offices in executing its mandate. The Committee has already sent out invitations to the various governors to appear before it, appointed to respond to audit reports raised by the Auditor General on the financial statements of the various investments within the respective counties. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for making a firm directive that the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) and the County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee should continue with their work despite the ruling that was issued by the court that appears to derail that process. We are continuing well and witnesses are appearing before us. Governors are keen to have political accountability and that is a good thing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I submit the Report."
