    "content": "7. The county government should maintain a comprehensive and up to date cashbook and further ensure that bank reconciliation is carried out regularly and at least on a monthly basis. 8. The county government should institutionalise feasibility studies as a key instrument for gauging the viability and sustainability of all projects financed by the county government. All the key stakeholders should participate in the identification of projects to ensure that projects sponsored by public funds have wide acceptance at the county level and are based on real participation of the public. Many counties have been going around the world benchmarking and finding out what kind of projects they should do. Quite often, projects are imported, lock, stock and barrel, without much thinking as to whether they are viable to socio-economic circumstances. This blind replication of projects that look good but do not have much economic value or reproducibility should be discouraged. There should be proper feasibility studies done before public money is put in known viable projects. 9. The Office of the Auditor-General should regularly undertake the value for money audit in order to provide feedback on how best public funds have been utilised. 10. The county government should utilise the interactive nature of the audit process, including the entry and exit meetings, the management letter among others to respond satisfactorily to the audit queries and internal control weaknesses pointed out by the Auditor-General at the time of audit. 11. The county government should at all times provide all the necessary documents to the Auditor-General at the time of audit. The Committee will in the subsequent audit reports treat this as an offence that attracts severe consequences. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having gone through those recommendations - Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was to second this Motion but he seems not in the House - I request Sen. M. Kajwang to Second the Motion. I beg to move."
