The Senate Committee on Public Investments, led by Senator Godfrey Osotsi, convened to review Auditor-General reports on the financial statements of Murang'a Municipality and Fort Beverage Industries Company Ltd. Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata appeared before the committee to address accountability concerns in county operations.

The committee acknowledged progress made by the Murang'a County Government in addressing previously raised issues regarding water companies. However, several matters remained unresolved, including Non-Revenue Water and the transfer of Murang'a South Water and Sanitation Company Limited from the National Government.

Senator Osotsi directed Governor Kang'ata to "expedite the execution of the pending matters to improve service delivery to the people of Murang'a by the water companies." The committee also resolved to invite the Principal Secretary, Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Sanitation to discuss the water company transfer.

Key issues highlighted in the audit reports included material uncertainty regarding Fort Beverage Industries Company's going concern, unbalanced budgets, and budgetary control challenges. For Murang'a Municipality, inaccuracies in financial statements, irregular facilitation of County Assembly members, and failure to maintain an updated asset register were noted.

The committee issued directives to address these concerns, emphasizing adherence to Public Finance Management regulations, proper budgetary control measures, and enhanced financial reporting. Governor Kang'ata was tasked with ensuring compliance with laws governing board meetings and implementing robust internal control policies within specified timeframes.
