    "content": "and you did not disturb me back and forth about the documents on the building; you availed the documents, came for the meetings and were available, that according to them is a key audit query and would therefore lead to a conclusion that you supported the auditor and therefore you deserve an unqualified opinion. My God! The question of the misuse or whether there is proper use of public funds becomes a secondary issue. We must change that. I have also requested through the Chair that in the case of your county, assuming the Auditor-General issues a report, the same way we ask the public to give us their opinions in the case of impeachment of governors, what is the contradiction in submitting the document of the Auditor-General before it lands in the hands of Sen. M. Kajwang’ to the public to give us their opinion? The public would know a project that has started, one that has stalled or cases where there is misuse of public funds. I suspect that the auditors are going to the county government offices in a plush place like Wote where they will be hosted and probably sleep at Kusyombunguo Hotel without leaving that precincts. Therefore, the information is limited to the information that they have been given by the person who is sitting to prepare the reports. I know of counties that spend sleepless night cooking documents and preparing fake receipts because the auditors just want to see receipts. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we pointed out glaring contradictions between the document prepared by the Controller of Budget and the one of the Auditor-General. Is it possible that the quarterly reports submitted by the County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) become part and parcel of the final documents prepared by the Auditor-General? The reason is that the Controller of Budget is a little more detailed because they insist on a quarterly report and the information that the county is submitting is checked vis-à-vis the budget they have submitted. I am not sure whether our Auditor- General has the benefit of a County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), annual development programme, supplementary budget and a budget like the Controller of Budget. That is why the fact that our wage bill in Makueni that is at Kshs3.8 billion, about 42 per cent, was not flagged but it has been flagged by the Controller of Budget. Similarly, the Managed Equipment Service (MES) was flagged by the Controller of Budget but it was not been flagged by the Auditor General. You then begin to ask yourself if these two offices are working in tandem."
