I would like to commend my colleagues for having burnt the midnight oil to do what has not been achieved by very many Parliaments in very many years. One of the reasons this Committee has been able to deal with very many parastatals is because it discovered there is a certain category of parastatals that were not being audited. It was an assumed rule that we only audit parastatals that have got more than 50 per cent Government investment. I want to commend my Chairman for this time going beyond that because we audit any parastatal that has got a shilling or an iota of investment by the Kenyan taxpayers, be it 1 per cent or 49 per cent. That is why that scope has increased and it has seen organisations like Kenya Power Company (KPC) and many others that were not being audited before, now being in this bracket of audit.

There is need for us to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
