• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: We can have the issue resolved so that the next appointment will take place two years from now. I congratulate M/s Ronalds LLP. It is one of the young and emerging partnerships. I believe they have about six partners. They are growing. It is good to see a Kenyan firm. At some point we were worried. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, and Chair of Public Accounts Committee, there was a time when there was contemplation of having an international auditor because the Kenyan auditors did not want to audit this public Office because of potential of conflict of interest. If you ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: on our behalf – some of the things that you will expect them to take you through are what the Auditor-General has been doing, how they have been applying the monies and why we are having issues in the counties. You visit the counties and do not need to be told who owns what. Everyone is saying how that building is now owned by the chief officer of the county, yet the local bank manager does not tell you that the so-called person has applied for a loan. You can see the lifestyle changes within the counties. We would like ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Let me stop there and congratulate M/s Ronalds for making it this far. We should not be spending a lot of time on this matter. It is rather straightforward, hence we support the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee so that the auditor can be appointed and start doing the job. We start receiving reports and see whether our Auditor-General is doing what she ought to be doing. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I just really wanted to emphasise that. I do not want to belabour the point. This is the third independent auditor. Initially, there was Baker Tilly Merali’s and then we had PKF. This is the third auditor that we are approving for different periods. Hence, there is now enough experience in terms of what the other two have provided. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I expect that this will come from the Chairman. I know that we are appointing this auditor for the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 Financial Years, and as of now, the Auditor-General is looking at the 2019/2020 Financial Year for the Government. The Auditor-General should be one step ahead. They should have had their issues properly sorted and we should not be talking of the 2018/2019 Financial Year because that should have been audited. It is something that we need to look at, so that even as we appoint the next auditor, we will be looking at appointing somebody for the 2021 ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I would like to encourage the Chairman of PAC to look into this matter. At what point do we appoint the auditor for the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 Financial Years? We should do it now, rather than appointing them after the years have passed. You appoint an auditor for the ensuing year not for the year that has just passed. Right now, we should be receiving the reports for last year. We should be discussing what M/s Ronalds LLP has told us. That is a minor point. I am sure there was a reason why there was that oversight, but now ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: know what the 13th Parliament will do, we might as well take advantage of our presence to start the process of appointing the auditor for the future. view
