• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: The Committee had several sittings with the county government executives on various days during the Session, where it considered the reports of the Auditor-General. The Committee was not able to visit any of the counties due its easy schedule and backlog of business. The sittings were primarily investigatory and the Committee received evidence from the governors of the county executives as the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) to the county government pursuant to Article 179(4) of the Constitution.

• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in this Motion, my Committee presents reports of 20 county executives listed as Volume II that were considered and adopted by the Committee. These include the counties of Bomet, Homa bay, Isiolo, Kakamega, Kiambu, Kisumu, Laikipia, Mandera, Migori, Mombasa, Murang’a, Nandi, Nyeri, Samburu, Siaya, Tana River, Tharaka-Nithi, Trans Nzoia, Turkana and Wajir County Executives for Financial Year 2014/2015, 1st July, 2014 to 30th June, 2015. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: The Committee examined the reports of the Auditor-General on the stated financial year. In 2014/2015 the Auditor-General reported that the pending bills for all the county governments amounted to Kshs108.9 billion, being an increase of Kshs46.1 billion from the previous financial year. I must say this has been one of our major elements of the audit query that traverses across the county governments that we have examined, not only the 20 counties listed, but also the others. You can see from the original figure pending bills went up by Kshs46.1 billion. One of the reasons the pending bills went up ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: In addition, no county government had a staff establishment policy to determine optimal staffing levels. It was observed that most county governments had weak internal control systems arising from lack of policies, that is, internal controls, fraud prevention mechanisms, fire detection and prevention, disaster prevention, management of documents and staff pension. Madam Temporary Speaker, you could see that some of them deliberately went out of their way, causing unnecessary fires, which targeted the Treasury, and it was very strange. They would then appear before the Committee and say that they did not have documents to present before the auditors and ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: The list can go on but I invite Members to look at Page 10 on the General Observations and Recommendations of the Fiduciary Risks in Volume II of the Report. The Volume runs over to 850 pages. The day before yesterday, I told you that we also had other 15 counties that we had examined for three years. That is a total of 65 reports before this House, which have been updated to 2017/2018 audit report circle. view
