The Committee is established pursuant to Standing Order 206 to examine the working of public investments on the basis of their audited reports and accounts. This ensures implementation of Article 229(8) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 on reports laid before the House by the Auditor- General which provides that “Within three months after receiving an audit report, Parliament shall debate and consider the report and take appropriate action”. Currently, there are more than two hundred and fifty state corporations undertaking different mandates in their respective sectors. Due to this large number, previous Public Investments Committees have been unable to conclude examination of the accounts of the Auditor General of these state corporations. Considering this backlog, the Committee resolved to examine all the reports of the Auditor General on the accounts of State Corporations, with a deliberate effort made to begin with state corporations that have the highest turnover In examining the accounts of the Auditor General, the Committee invited accounting officers in each of the state corporations under review to adduce evidence. This report contains observations, findings and recommendations arising from examination of tweny one (21) reports of the Auditor-General for state cooporations for different financial years. It is structured to provide the following information: - i) general obersavations of the the most recurring queries and their observations; ii) all the queries identified by the Auditor General in his audit reports; iii) management responses to each of the querries; iv) Committee observations on each querry, and v) recommendations. The Committee appreciates the Offices of the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the support to enable it operationalise its mandate. The Committee further extends its appreciation to the Office of the Auditor- General for the services they offered during the entire period. May I also extend my appreciation to my fellow Members of the Committee whose immense contributions and dedication to duty has enabled the Committee to examine the audit querries and produce this report. vi On behalf of the Public Investments Committee, and pursuant to Standing Order 199(6), it is my pleasant duty and honour to present to this 22nd Report of the public Investments Committee report on Audited Financial Statements for twenty one (21 ) state Corporations. HON. ABDULLSWAMAD SHARRIF NASSIR, MP vii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Committee held ninety one (91) sittings in which it closely examined the audited financial statements of twenty one (21) State Corporations and the Reports therein by the Auditor General.
