    "content": "of the Auditor-General to be able to undertake its duties effectively. Our fear, also, extends to county governments where we think there could be even greater misapplication, misuse and wastage of public resources that have not come to the attention of this House, because it is the business of the Senate. These challenges, notwithstanding though, the PAC is proud to have discharged its mandate with honour and valour as expected of it by the Constitution, Standing Orders and customs of this hon. House. Allow me now to quickly make reference and draw hon. Members’ attention to an important part of this Report on page (v) which is titled: “Highlights from the Audited Accounts”. Hon. Members you will notice that there is a similar section in each of the three reports, which we have titled ‘Highlights’. These are highlighted issues that the Committee considers to have been the big issues emerging out of the particular financial year. For financial year 2010/2011, I want to draw hon. Members’ attention to the following big issues. One, issues touching on the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). The Committee has highlighted serious audit queries raised on Mutitu CDF that touch on, among other things, unaccounted for expenditure. The Committee has also drawn attention to expenditure at the Ministry of Education, which includes irregular use of grants by national schools, lack of financial records and the Committee has made appropriate recommendations. The Committee has also taken note of expenditure at the former Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs, which related to funding of Government of Kenya prisons."
