    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I also rise to support this Motion. I think this is deliberate negligence by the Executive. The Executive ought to have put all the required measures in place to ensure that an Auditor-General is appointed and his name submitted to Parliament for approval. It is unfortunate that to date, no action has been taken. Besides the CBK, other entities like the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Kenya Power and Lighting Company, KenGen, East Africa Portland Cement and other institutions are required by 30th September 2019 to submit audited reports. However, this cannot be done because the substantive office holder has not been appointed. When the Governor appeared before us, he said that Section 54 of the CBK Act, Cap 491, requires the Bank to submit to the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, within a period of three months after the close of each financial year, a report of the Bank’s operations together with the financial statements that have been certified by the Bank’s auditor. However, he said that this cannot be carried out just because the Auditor-General has not been appointed. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
