    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Government of Kenya Accounts for the year 1999/2000 laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 26th October, 2006. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right from the outset, I would like to appreciate the membership of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). On behalf of the PAC, I would like to take this opportunity to present to this House the Report and recommendations therein. The PAC had its first sitting on 16th April, 2005, and held 105 sittings. The Committee noted that most of the queries contained in the 1998/1999 Accounts were also in the Report of 1999/2000. For that reason, it is the first time that the PAC tackled Reports for two years in one year, courtesy of the very able team that I had in the PAC then. Accounting Officers of Government Ministries and departments, which had audit queries in any of the two Reports, appeared before the PAC and evidence taken thereof. The Controller and Auditor-General raised audit queries and then responses were given to us by the Accounting Officers. That is what formed the basis of this Report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to acknowledge the participation of the hon. Members with whom I sat in the PAC and who ably matched their tasks. The PAC comprised of hon. Omingo, then Chairman of PAC before I was bundled out by my party and consigned to oblivion. However, I am not dying soon. Others were: Hon. Kenyatta; hon. Kipchumba, who, occasionally, acted as the Chairman - not really on record, but through internal arrangements; hon. Dr. Ojiambo, currently a luminary in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM(K); hon. Billow, the current shadow Minister for Finance; hon. Ojaamong; hon. Archbishop Ondiek, who on every single day of our sittings put us in the hands of the Lord before we could start our deliberations; hon. Wamwere, who was picked when NARC was forming the Government of National Unity (GNU); hon. Ethuro, who was also picked at the same time to form the GNU and which is currently illegal; hon. ole Ntimama, who was taken on board too and appointed Minister though he never lasted there because of the temporal nature of appointments of the current Government. He is now on the Opposition side guiding us in our struggle to take over leadership; and hon. Mganga, who was also picked to join the Government and still serves there. He is still a member of KANU."
