• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: With regard to unresolved accounting matters, the Committee observed that over the last five years, Ministries and departments have had several accounting matters which have remained unresolved. Virtually all Ministries and departments had account balances and differences translating into billions of shillings, some of which had been carried forward and accumulated over the years without clearance. This state of affairs has been The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: of great concern to the Committee as the import of these long outstanding balances would be that the Government could have been defrauded. Despite the Committee’s recommendations that all accounting officers take necessary action to resolve outstanding accounting matters, no remarkable progress has been recorded. For this reason, the Committee did not find it necessary to specifically report on accounting matters since all the outstanding issues were as reported in previous reports and most recently that of the year 2008/2009. As I have already noted, this is a double submission and so all the issues that had been noted in ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Before you took the Chair, these matters had already come to the attention of the House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was mentioning that several of the issues you referred to, indeed came to the attention of the House. One of them is Article 229(4) which is clear that within six months after the end of each financial year, the Auditor-General shall audit and report in respect to that financial year. We also do take notice of Article 203(2) and (3) and especially (3) which says that the amount referred to, that is the division of revenue between the national Government and the county governments is based on the most recent audited accounts of revenue received ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As we work on the report that we are preparing now - which PAC is working on now, the Committee is paying special attention to that matter and the Committee will be making very specific The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I wanted to inform the Member for Bomet Central that PAC does not submit to this House a report of the Auditor-General. After the Auditor-General has presented a report to PAC, PAC then organizes hearings with all accounting officers and then presents a report from the hearings on the report of the Auditor-General. If it was merely a conveyor belt that receives a report from the Auditor-General and then brings it here, then nothing would be easier than to merely collect a report from the office of the Auditor-General and submit it to the House. So, it is a long ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: PAC was unable to interact with accounting officers; Principal Secretaries because they were all at the Mount Kenya Country Club where the Government was doing its evaluation. So, that needs to be taken into account when you are looking at the frequency at which the Committee brings reports here. The fact that the last committee concluded reports and did not table them in the House is really not sufficient for the Member to pass a judgement on the Committee. In fact, he should be complimenting this Committee for being able to carry on the business of the previous committee. Without ... view
