The Senate Committee meeting has been rescheduled as the Auditor was not ready to proceed, having not yet gone through the documents submitted by the Nairobi City County Government.
Nairobi Governor Sakaja Johnson, accompanied by County Executive Committee members Charles Kerich and Maureen Njeri, Chief Officers Bramwel Simiyu and Asha Abdi, Zipporah Mwangi, Rhoda Otieno, Director of Liquor, Brian Kisali, Deputy Director of Disaster, and Engineer Eston Kimathi, CEO of the Ward Development Program (WDP), attended the Senate’s County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee meeting.
The agenda of the meeting was to consider the Reports of the Auditor General of the Nairobi City County Alcoholic Drinks and Licensing Board, the Nairobi City County Bursary and Scholarship Fund, the Nairobi City County Disaster and Emergency Fund, and the Nairobi City County Wards Development Fund for the Financial years 2019/20, 2020/21, and 2021/22. However, it was rescheduled after the auditor, who audited the books, stated he was not ready to proceed because he had not gone through the documents submitted by the Nairobi City County Government.
Governor Sakaja said, “I fully agree that the Auditor General’s feedback would enrich the deliberations and therefore am happy with the adjournment. We are fully compliant and were eager to share the robust changes/developments I have made in the county government.”
Sakaja further assured the Senate committee that he would still honor the next appearance when invited.
