    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Public Accounts Committee on its examination of the Report of the Auditor General on the Financial Statements for the National Government for the Financial Year 2016/2017, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 27th November, 2019. As I move this Motion this evening on the Floor of this House, I am indeed extremely proud of the work that PAC has been able to do in the last two years or so, bearing in mind that the Committee was inaugurated on the 18th December 2017or thereabout. From that time, the Committee has been able to process reports covering three financial years, that is, 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and now 2016/2017. That is a record, bearing in mind the amount of work that the committee has to go through in terms of examining reports of the Auditor-General. It is worth pointing out that given the milestones we have achieved so far as a Committee and also given the fact that as we speak we have embarked on examination of the report of the Auditor-General for the FY 2017/2018 which we are scheduled to complete, God willing, within the first half of the year 2020, it means therefore that we have as a Committee achieved the target that we had set for ourselves of delivering an up to date scrutiny and reporting on the audited accounts. I say this for the reason that the 2017/2018 report is actually the latest report that has been submitted to this House by the Office of the Auditor-General. And this is important, when you look at it from the point that Article 203(3) of the Constitution provides that equitable share of the revenue raised nationally be allocated to the national government and county governments on the basis of the most recent audited accounts of revenue as received. That means that my 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."
