If we allow a situation where the Auditor-General will now cherry-pick. For example, he will say that he has submitted the accounts of Elgeyo-Marakwet County to the County Assembly of Elgeyo-Marakwet and, therefore, he does not have to submit them to the Senate. We will have a problem with Article 96 of the Constitution, which says that the Senate oversights accounts of counties. It can only do so, if we have properly tabled accounts in this House."}
