- 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report of the Public Investments Committee. Before I left on promotion to chair the Departmental Committee on Finance where you are a very strong member, I served in PIC and I would like to commend our Chairman, Hon. Abdullswamad Sheriff Nassir. And if the diligence with which he serves the PIC is utilised by the people of Mombasa when he becomes the governor then Mombasa will continue to rise. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me state that as Parliament, when we look at these reports of the audit Committee, ... view

- 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: When you look at the Auditor-General’s Reports, you find organisations that have very many audit queries. One that has been given as an example here is the Kenya Airports Authority. Some of the incomplete projects they have are: Ukunda Airstrip Fencing, Embakasi Fencing Project, Construction of Terminal 4 building, parking garage and construction of fire station at Wilson Airport. As a country, we said that we want to bring expatriates to head some of these parastatals. Expatriates are overrated. When you hire them to run a Kenyan institution properly and make it efficient, sometimes they do not produce results. This ... view

- 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I would also like to make a comment on the issue of who follows up the implementation of these recommendations. We need to put in law that if an accounting officer does not implement recommendations of an audit Committee Report like this one, that accounting officer should be held responsible. In the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, we will be discussing to amend the Public Audit Act so that we put in law that there will be punishment for accounting officers that do not implement recommendations of PIC and PAC. view

- 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to speak on the timelines for audit. A lot has been said here about delay by organisations or parastatals in submitting their financial accounts to the Auditor-General for purposes of audit. We should also look at that so that we reduce it from three months after the end of a financial year …. view

- 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. If we reduced it from three months to just one month after the end of a financial year, the Auditor-General will have enough time to audit then give us reports in good time. view
