"content": "the responsibility of this House to ensure that the National Treasury and the Ministry of Planning and National Development complete those projects. The common mwananch i does not understand why those projects have stalled. All those questions are coming to us because the projects were started by the predecessor of the NG-CDF. So, something has to be done. During our engagement, we observed that sometimes it is deliberate. Maybe, because somebody is acting, he does not have powers to summon some fund managers. The auditors go to the ground after notifying them but the audited reports are not submitted to them. So, the auditors go to the ground and there are no reports. Some of the unaudited accounts date back to 2013/2014 Financial Year. They were actually being submitted as late as at the time we were sitting in a meeting. This has to be looked into. It is about the leadership of the board. Something else we need to consider is, probably, about the board itself. The people who sit on this board are actually the public servants. Even raising a quorum is a problem. How will you raise a quorum to deliberate on issues that affect the constituency if you have no powers to summon the members? This is a matter that should be seriously addressed to ensure that, at least, we serve the common mwananchi, who is looking upon us to provide leadership in the areas that we are serving. Once again, I congratulate the membership of the Committee, under the able leadership of the Member for South Imenti, Hon. Kathuri Murungi."
