    "content": "Even as we discuss these matters, I want to draw the attention of this honourable House to the serious constraints in the Office of the Auditor-General. One of the reasons the Auditor -General cannot give us the report that we are pushing for in good time is because his capacity is strained. The Auditor -General now has to audit 48 governments, namely, the national Government and the 47 county governments. The budgetary allocation to the Kenya National Audit Office has not registered any exponential growth over the last three years that we have been rolling out the new constitutional order. I want to urge this House that if we expect the Office of the Auditor-General to be an effective ally of this House in our oversight role and to help this country to oversight the 47 county governments, where we may even have greater issues because these are governments which are in their formative stages, we have no choice but to increase the budgetary allocation to the Office of the Auditor -General to make it effective."
