    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that I have been under a lot of pressure from colleague Senators; they want to see the reports of the Auditor-General concerning their counties tabled in this House. I have used a lot of energy and effort to have those reports pushed to come before the House. I was shocked today on my way from the Cooperative Bank, Parliament Road, when I was confronted by a member of the public who told me that he did not wish to disclose his name but he said that he comes from Machakos County. He gave me two copies:- First, the Report of the Auditor-General on the Financial Statements of the County Government of Machakos that was signed by the Auditor-General on 8th July, 2015. Secondly, he also gave me a copy of the Auditor-General on the Financial operations of Machakos County Executive that was signed by the Auditor-General, Mr. Edward Ouko, on 19th May, 2015. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only way these documents can go to the public domain is after we have tabled them here. I have been under a lot of pressure from many Senators and I am at a loss to explain how a document that was signed way back in May has not been brought for tabling and is now in the hands of members of the public. 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."
