    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, if you go by Section 25 of the Public Audit Act, which Mr. Mirugi is talking about, it actually empowers the Ministry of Finance. I am referring to this section because of Mr. Raila. Going back to the question that has been asked by Mr. Mirugi, all these councils are at the final stages of making sure that their books are in order. We have had, on many occasions, to return back their accounts because they did not have the right schedules to support them. As a matter of fact, especially Nakuru Municipal Council, they submitted the schedules for all the audit years, but we asked them to go back because they did not have supporting documents. We have now asked the City of Nairobi, and the four municipal councils, to submit their audited accounts with supporting documents. Most of them have been given up to 30th June 2007 to make sure that their books of accounts are in order. In particular, Nakuru Municipal Council has been given up to up 31st July, 2007, to do so. So, in essence, what I am saying is that by 31st July this year, all those four municipal councils and the City Council of Nairobi, will have had their accounts up-to-date."
