    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join my colleagues in thanking the Chairman of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) for tabling these Reports. I am glad that at long last, the Report for Vihiga County has been tabled and we will scrutinise it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was a personal initiative of the Chairman – after he was beseeched by this House – to make sure that these Reports are tabled. We should not lose tract of the fact that earlier, the Auditor-General had wrongly interpreted the Constitution. Article 229(7) of the Constitution says that:- “Audit reports shall be submitted to Parliament or the relevant county assembly.” According to the Auditor-General, Parliament meant the National Assembly. He had argued that after submitting the reports to the National Assembly, he could then copy to us. At least the Chairman has made it now known that the Senate is part of Parliament. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
