    "content": "I want to clarify one issue which hon. C. Onyancha picked up with me and I also saw his amendment. We consulted the PSC before even trying to get the service of this firm or other firms who competed. We sought the advice of the office of the Auditor- General. I want to table a letter dated 5th January 2012 and I want to read it, so that hon. C. Onyancha is aware of what actually informed the PSC to come up with this formula. This is now the Auditor-General actually writing to the Clerk of the National Assembly. The letter reads:- “As you are aware, the Constitution of Kenya provides that the accounts of the office of the Auditor-General shall be audited and reported on by a professionally qualified accountant appointed by the National Assembly as per Article 246(4). Accordingly, we should appreciate if the process of appointing an auditor is commenced and concluded in time so as to afford the appointing auditor an opportunity to carry out the interim and final audit for the financial year ending 30th June, 2012. We recommend that the audit engagement becomes effective from 10th June, 2012 for the financial year ending 30th June, 2012 for a period of five years. The contract shall then be evaluated annually and rendered at the end of the five year period.”"
