    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was looking at Article 229(8) of the Constitution that requires Parliament within three months after receiving an audit report, to debate and consider the report. I do not know whether this Committee has the capacity with respect to every report received, we can be able to debate and consider those reports because this is a constitutional timeline. If we go beyond it, we will not be acting within the four corners of the Constitution. The Chairman needs to consider whether he has the capacity to deal with these audit reports. As the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet is saying, any delay in dealing with this work can render the Senate completely unable to exercise its core function effectively. So, I would want to hear a reaction from the Chairman whether or not the Committee can be able to fulfill this constitutional requirement. I am aware that some of these audit reports were published and given to Parliament, including the one from Embu County more than one and a half months ago."
