    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second the Motion on Adoption of the Report of PAC on the Government of Kenya accounts for the 2013/2014 Financial Year. My able Chair has elaborated so well and very fluently on issues raised in this Report, findings of the Committee and recommendations therein. I would like to share with the Members some of the pertinent areas that the Auditor-General raised issues on. There is a summarised version of the audit report where the AG queried a few areas in the financial statements of the Government. Out of the 101 audited reports or the financial statements prepared by the MDAs, only 26 per cent were unqualified. By unqualified, it means they were clean reports. Out of 101, 50 of them were qualified. That means the AG could not make a determination and give an acceptable opinion. Sixteen of them were adverse in nature. That means there was so much material and pervasive issues in the financial statements that the AG could not make an opinion on. Disclaimers were nine out of 101. That means we still have Ministries which were not in a position to provide information for the audit exercise in their respective Ministries. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is very alarming. Looking at the 2014/2015 audit reports, we are still meandering around 26 per cent of the unqualified, which are clean reports. We are still lying around 50 per cent for the qualified reports. That means that Accounting Officers should take the audit exercise seriously. On revenue, the AG had nine financial statements to go through. Out of the nine, four were found to be very clean, which is around 3.8 per cent. That translates to Kshs36,962,979,048. What I have read to you are the clean reports. The qualified ones are four out of nine translating to 96.1 per cent. In figures, it is Kshs929,047,300,549.
