    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I thank you very much. I wish to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for finally tabling the Auditor-General’s report of the accounts for the 2013/2014 Financial Year. As provided for under Article 229(4) of the Constitution, these accounts were supposed to have been here by December last year or early January this year, but they have been delayed. It means we are seven months late. As you realise from Article 229(8) we, as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), are required after receiving this report, to debate and consider the report and take appropriate action. The import of this is that, so that we are able to tackle as much of the programme as possible, my Committee will be requesting you to allow us to occasionally be sitting when the House is in session. But most importantly, if you recall from last year, you will note that we had created an opportunity for the Auditor-General to explain to the people of Kenya the performance of the appropriations of this House for the accounts of the previous years."
