    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments on the inquiry into the Financial Operations of Nakuru County Executive for the Financial Year 2013/2014 laid on the table of the House on Tuesday, 19th June 2018. I move this motion very well aware that this House has registered its concern at the throughput and the timeliness of the reports that the Public Accounts and Investments Committee brings to this house. Mr. Speaker, we have had a legacy problem, a huge backlog problem that has been occasioned by many reasons. As we know, that the First Senate was not able to get down to business on consideration of these issues mainly because of court battles that pitted the Senate and the county governors. Thankfully, these issues have now been resolved, and I am very happy to report that one of the counties and one of the governors that went to court to oppose the role of the Senate in the scrutiny of the reports of the Auditor General; the Governor for Kakamega, has since appeared before the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee and he has expressed his pleasure that when he came before the Senate, he found it to be a House full of wisdom and a House that helped him to understand certain things that he was not able to see from the county where he was sitting. Mr. Speaker, I want to assure this House that the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee is committed to taking a more efficient approach to its work, consideration of reports and reporting to this House. I want it to go on record that the Committee on Public Accounts and Investment for the 40 counties that are remaining, because this House has already adopted three reports and today, we wish that we can move four other reports, we do not expect to bring 40 Motions before this House. We have already started work in consolidating the reports of the 40 counties and we hope that when that is ready, we will bring it to the House. If you look at the practice, even in the National Assembly, the Public Accounts Committee does not submit an individual report for Ministries and the Public Investments 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."
