The Committee was first constituted on the 27th March, 2014, pursuant to Senate Standing Order No.181, following a resolution of the House on Thursday 27th February 2014 to amend the Senate Standing Orders. The Committee was subsequently reconstituted on 17th February 2015, pursuant to Standing Order No. 2010 (1) which requires Sessional Committees to be reconstituted at the commencement of every Session. The Committee has just been reconstituted anew and that report will come to this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments is an avenue through which the Senate, under the provisions of Article 96(3) of the Constitution, carries out the exposed scrutiny of county governments budget. The Committee largely relies on the report of the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget as key instruments for its exposed scrutiny of county governments and accounts. I must say the report of the Controller of Budget reveals an extremely unfortunate situation as we shall see in the reports presently that there are rather insubstantial The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
