Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue of the quality of audits was also well raised. We have noted that all outsourced audit assignments have revealed unqualified reports while State corporations have been observed to have a number of issues. A good example was the Kenya Power and Lighting Company. If you look at the Financial Year 2012/2013 running all the way to the Financial Year 2016/2017, they are given a clean bill of health.

I strongly believe that when a Member is supposed to raise a Question, it should be done as per the Standing Orders of the House which is clearly provided for in Standing Order No.42A, 42C and 2659(J). One, it is the manner in which a Member can raise a Question. I have raised this because of the sensitivity of the issue. The Question raised by Hon.
