    "content": "delay from the Auditor-General in giving his report, it means that Parliament will take that much longer to approve the accounts which again, will mean that the money going to the counties is invariably affected. That is why I am very grateful to you for your answer also because not so long ago, the Office of the Controller of Budget or another research - I do not know who it is - came out with the ranking of the counties to talk about those who had consumed or the capacity with which some counties had used or utilized the money; referring to percentage utilized in development, et cetera. The audited accounts are so important because it is not just about how much a county has utilized for development, but how that development fund has been used. It is not enough to tell us that 40 per cent was used on development because the audits of the Auditor-General would tell us whether the money was utilized prudently or not. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was not sufficient for the Controller of Budget to rank counties because then that meant nothing because it did not tell us how that money was used; properly or not. It is very important that we pursue the communication that you have given us, dissect it and with the Committee headed by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, to enforce the issuance or making available of those audited accounts so that we can interrogate them for the benefit of the counties that we represent here. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
