    "content": "Supplementary Budget that we passed recently did not sufficiently address this inadequacy. (ii) PAC will work extra hours including during recess to clear any pending backlog of accounts. The Committee has also commenced a programme of budding together accounts for delayed fiscal cycles. This is one of the ways to deal with a heavy workload which also includes special audits which right now include our inquiry into the Judiciary and IEBC, among others. We thank this House for expediting debate and approval of the duo report that we tabled here earlier this month. Finally, all accounting officers who delay to submit books of accounts or who submit half-baked responses to audit queries will be publicly named and serious sanctions recommended against them. No extension of time will be granted to any accounting officer in any circumstance. We insist that the same appetite, motivation and rigour exhibited when seeking budgetary allocations from the Treasury and the Budget and Appropriations Committee must similarly be exhibited when accounting before PAC and Auditor-General on how those funds have been spent. I thank you."
