    "content": "Hon. Members, I have two short communications. The first one is on the status of the reports of an independent audit firm on the accounts of the Office of the Auditor-General. Hon. Members, on Tuesday, 15th November, 2016, the Hon. Adan Keynan, MP, laid on the Table of the House the Parliamentary Service Commission Paper No.949 on the Procurement of a professionally qualified accountant to audit and report on the accounts of the Office of the Auditor-General. He proceeded to give Notice of Motion seeking approval of the House for appointment of the Audit Firm of M/s Baker Tilly Merali’s to audit the Accounts of the Office of the Auditor-General for the 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 financial years. Subsequently, the Motion was listed for consideration by the House on Wednesday, 16th November, 2016. Hon. Members, you will recall that when the Order for the Motion was read out, the Mover citing that there had emerged a number of material facts concerning the Report, which had not been brought to his attention, and which he wished to familiarise himself with before proceeding to move for consideration of the Motion by the House, sought the indulgence of the Hon. Speaker to withdraw the Motion pursuant to the provision of Standing Order No.51. Several Members, among them the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party; the Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, MP; the Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, MP and the Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a, spoke to the withdrawal and raised a number of fundamental issues.
