    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I speak, as you indeed mentioned, as the Chairman of the Joint Committee on the demolitions and evictions at Kyangombe, the KPA Maasai Village, Mitumba Village and Eastleigh in Nairobi on the status of the forensic audit in respect of the demolitions and evictions that took place. This House may recall that on Wednesday, 7th December, 2011 and 14th December, 2011 a report on the demolitions and evictions at Kyangombe, the KPA Maasai and Mitumba villages and Eastleigh in Nairobi was tabled and adopted respectively, with recommendations. Specifically, the House recommended that a forensic audit be undertaken by a firm in liaison and with the facilitation of the Auditor- General and report back to this House after 60 days from the date of execution of the contract. The forensic audit on Syokimau demolitions and evictions at Kyangombe, KPA Maasai and Mitumba villages and Eastleigh has progressed well since 19th March, 2012 when the contract between the Kenya National Audit Office (KENAO) and the PriceWaterHouseCoopers Ltd was signed. The audit should have been completed and report tabled before the Committee as recommended by 18th May, 2012. However, this has not been possible for the following reasons:- (i) There was a significant delay in accessing information and documentation from Moi Air Base at Eastleigh. Indeed, the team was only allowed access to the Base on Wednesday, 16th May, 2012. (ii) Some key institutions and persons are yet to respond to requests for a meeting key among these institutions is the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). (iii) Some key information is yet to be received from the various sources, particularly the Ministry of Lands and also the Ministry of State for Defence. Due to the reasons given, the audit team has requested for an extension of a period of three weeks from 18th May 2012 for the audit team to report by 8th June, 2012. The extension has no financial implications on the part of the Government. Thank you."
