    "content": "The second one, the ones of July 2013 to July 2014, are the ones which the interim reports had already been sorted out and had been tabled in the House and now he is giving the respective financial year. I want to inform the House that there are some interim reports that we ran into problems with, when the governors ran to court and got an injunction and unfortunately it was quashed; now it is mandatory that they must appear before us. I was worried that you were going to challenge me on how the Committee is going to deal with those interim reports because we had not dealt with all of them. I will not answer that one because looking at the respective accounts with the Committee, we will then make a decision whether we want to start with the interim or we set them aside for the reason that, even if we set them aside, the reports in the interim usually do not die. They are carried into the next financial year. Audit queries do not die until they are adequately responded to. On the issue of county assembly accounts being separated from executive accounts, I had a conversation with the Auditor-General, Dr. Edward Ouko and he confirmed to me and as a Committee, we have agreed with him, that it is tidier to deal with these accounts as much as they are under one government separately because we want to encourage the clerk who is the accounting officer of the county assembly to enjoy financial autonomy. Thank you."
