The Senate Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds (CPISFC) led by Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi met today to address concerns raised in the Auditor-General's Reports regarding the financial statements of three water companies in Nyeri County today.

The reports covered the fiscal years 2018/19, 2019/20, and 2020/21. The three water companies under review were Mathira Water and Sanitation Company Limited, Tetu Aberdare Water and Sanitation Company Limited, and Mutitu Water and Sanitation Company Limited.

The County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) has called on the Officers serving in the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) to be proactive and reorient their operations to be of value to county entities while carrying out auditing.

The Committee argues that the current adversarial approach in auditing must be abandoned and a more friendly tact adopted if the auditing process is to of value and meaningful to public finance management.
