    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the answer by the Assistant Minister. My issue is that we are spending billions of shillings every year as the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF). I believe this financial year we are slated to give the local authorities approximately Kshs8 billion. The Act is very clear that the local authorities have to submit audited reports six months after the end of each financial year. Could he admit that the Controller and Auditor-General does not have the capacity to audit these institutions countrywide? What are they doing to improve the capacity of the Office of the Controller and Auditor-General, so that we do not continue having these problems in the local authorities? Why are local authorities not held accountable for the billions of shillings we continue pumping into them?"
