Tonui","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":1242,"legal_name":"Ronald Kiprotich Tonui","slug":"ronald-kiprotich-tonui"},"content":"Clause 12 of this Bill provides that somebody can act as an Auditor- General if the occupant of that office is not able to execute the functions of that office. This is a welcome creation by this Bill because there should be no vacuum in that office. It should work all through. I am also happy that there is a new position created of Senior Deputy Auditor- General who will be in charge of administration and accounting. This will be the accounting officer of the Auditor-General’s Office. I believe that the issue of conflict of interest arises where the Auditor-General is the accounting officer, and is also the officer in charge of auditing institutions in both the national and county governments. I welcome this position, which is created by this Bill. With that contribution, I thank you."}
