    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If you speak last most of your points might have been spoken by others. However, let me address myself to a few ones that I think have not been touched by my colleagues. We are talking about audited reports of the Financial Year 2013/2014. This is what we used to appropriating revenue in the Finance, Commerce and Budget Committee. It is the only audited accounts we received from the National Assembly. How are we better of? I really commend Sen. M. Kajwang‟ for doing a good job and tabling the report before us. It was not easy for him and his team to have held 91 sittings without a quorum hitch. However, with all that hard work, they are still dealing with accounts of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 financial years. So, in as much as an audit report is historical and not proactive, if we are four years behind, this is something unacceptable. Therefore, my request to this House is to consider Sen. M. Kajwang‟s request to extend the Committee‟s time, so that these things can be expedited. We could give them a specific period of time so that we conclude the historical issues and be able to address the current audited reports. Why is the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) failing Senators now? Why were they not receiving returns from the former Senators? Sen. M. Kajwang‟ needs to question them because they have failed in their duty to ensure that they do what they ought to have done. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
