"content": "The most critical thing is for the accounting officers to take advantage of management letters, so that when audit queries are minimized, they give Parliament enough time to look at more reports, within a very short period. If you have so many audit queries, some of which are even just technical, then it takes a lot of Parliament’s time. Article 203 of the Constitution, as you rightly put it, puts responsibility on this House to be up to date with the financial reports, so that we have a basis upon which we can divide our revenue. Otherwise, we will be using historical data to divide current revenue and this will be harmful not only to our counties but even to other devolved funds, like Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and also Equalisation Fund."
