I started by saying that it may not be murder, but we will reduce some of these malpractices to manslaughter. However, there are some that are so painful that you can clearly see a deliberate chain of deception. I have talked about Sero Youth Polytechnic whose details are on page 31. I want it is to be on record that the Auditor-General indicated that the LPO, invoice and payments were all done on the same day. The procedure of audit is such that once the Auditor-General goes to the field, conducts his audit and makes public its report that then becomes the audit report. If the management had mitigating explanations, ideally, they should be done in the course of the audit. This habit where counties wait until reports come to the Senate and that is when they rush with huge documentation--- Sometimes they just manufacture records. I believe that a record that is unavailable at the time of audit, but is available four months or weeks later, could be a manufactured record. Another example which I really would think is just an issue of operations and the challenges of the first year, but which we need to talk about, is the failure to maintain a revenue cash book. What that means is that the county does not know what it gets from locally generated revenue. That County collects a lot of money every day. Drive around Homa Bay County and from the 2013/2014 Financial Year, it is not that easy. You will meet barricades improvised using ropes. Boys have been given ropes to man them and collect a levy from every boda boda, Pick-ups, and Probox that passes there. Where does that ---"
