    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, Standing Order 220 creates the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC). With regard to the functions of this Committee, Standing Order No. 220 says:- “The functions of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee shall be- (a) pursuant to Article 96(3) of the Constitution, to exercise oversight over national revenue allocated to the county Governments; (b) pursuant to Article 229(7) and (8) to examine the reports of the Auditor- General on the annual accounts of the county governments; (c) to examine special reports, if any of the Auditor-General on the county governments funds; (d) to examine special reports, if any, of the Auditor-General on county public investments; and, (e) to exercise oversight over county public accounts and investments.” Madam Temporary Speaker, this Report on Kilifi County is a classic example of the problem that we have, as I said earlier when we were speaking about the Report on Nakuru County. It seems that we are caught up in a mechanical process of accounting. We get the report of the Auditor-General and see where the gaps were; the governor then comes and explains that there were some receipts or documents which were not seen. The Committee confirms it and the observation is:- 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."
