The Office is charged with the primary oversight role of ensuring accountability within the three arms of government (the Legislature, the Judiciary, and the Executive) as well as the Constitutional Commissions and Independent Office.

The Auditor-General is mandated to audit and report in respect to each financial year on the accounts of: the National and County Governments; all Funds and Authorities of the National and County Governments; all Courts; every Commission and Independent Office established by the Constitution; the National Assembly, the Senate, and the County Assemblies; Political Parties funded from public funds; the Public Debt and the accounts of any entity that legislation requires, and any entity that is funded from public funds.

In addition, Article 229(6) of the Constitution requires the Auditor-General to confirm whether or not public money has been applied lawfully and in an effective way.

Certification of accounts to assure fiscal responsibility

Certification audit responds to the core mandate of certifying accounts at national and county levels and expressing an opinion as to whether or not they are prepared in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and/or statutory requirements.

The end product of this exercise is an annual audit report on each entity that is presented to Parliament and the relevant County Assembly.

Continuous audit presence to assure on managerial accountability

Continuous audit ensures that the office is proactive, preventive and deterrent to fraud & corruption, wastage and abuse of public resources. This requires the auditor to constantly be on the ground to continuously assess the risks brought about by the evolving environment so as to: perform “real time” transactions testing and data analysis that enables timely recommendations; respond instantly to issues of national, county governments and any public concerns that require immediate audit or investigation; optimize use of audit resources while increasing audit activity and improve financial systems and business processes for effective risk management, control and governance.

Performance audit to assure on service delivery to Kenyans

This is audit work responding directly to the bill of rights and social rights of Kenyans that will be met through development and implementation of programmes such as health, clean and safe water, education, housing and social security.

We respond to the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which the resources are utilized to deliver services to the public. This Office assesses whether the programmes implemented lead to results, outputs and outcomes that positively transform the lives of citizens.

The products of this audit are performance audit reports which are issued at the end of the audit exercise.

Our reports are submitted to Parliament and the relevant County Assemblies, who are representatives of the Kenyan people.

The reports are discussed at the relevant Committees of Parliament and County Assemblies. Public Accounts Committees (PAC) of the National Assembly discusses accounts of the National Government while Public Investments Committee (PIC) of the National Assembly discusses accounts of State Corporations.

At the Senate, the accounts of County Governments and County Corporations are discussed by the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC). This role is also played at the County level by relevant Public Accounts and Investments Committees of the County Assemblies.

After hearings by the Parliamentary and County Assemblies Committees, with the assistance of the Office of the Auditor-General, recommendations are given which should be implemented by the entities concerned. Thereafter, the Auditor-General follows up to confirm whether the recommendations have been implemented.

The Auditor-General is audited by an independent auditor appointed by the National Assembly as outlined in Article 226(4) of the Constitution of Kenya.

In our audit reports, the Auditor-General expresses satisfaction or non-satisfaction of the financial statements through audit opinions. These opinions are unqualified, qualified, adverse or disclaimer. The specific explanations on the opinions are as outlined below:

• An unqualified opinion is a clean opinion, meaning that the financial transactions by and large were recorded properly and are in agreement with the accounting records.
• A qualified opinion means that although by and large the financial transactions are recorded and are deemed to be in agreement with the accounting records, there may be cases where the Auditor-General is unsatisfied with the veracity of certain expenditures, which may not be significant. Hence, except for such unsupported expenditure, the accounts reflect a true and fair situation.
• An adverse opinion means that although the financial transactions are recorded, the Auditor-General may be unsatisfied with significant amounts of expenditure.
• A disclaimer of opinion is serious and means that there was no basis upon which the Auditor-General can satisfactorily undertake an audit because the accounting records are unreliable; there are no verifiable supporting documentation and explanations for transactions. Consequently, the Auditor-General can neither give a qualified nor an adverse opinion; and gives a disclaimer.

The Law of Succession is the law regulating the inheritance of property. The Law of Succession Act applies universally to all Kenyans. This is basically the substantive law dealing with matters succession in Kenya. It’s important to note that this law has to be quoted first before other laws that might equally be affecting matters succession.

On one hand, immovable property in Kenya of a deceased person whatever the residence of that person at the time of his/her death will be regulated by the Kenyan law on succession and on the other hand, movable property of a deceased person is regulated by the law of the country of the residence of that person at the time of his/her death.

Testate succession is where the deceased leaves a written or oral will. It is important to note that the deceased must have had the capacity (sound mind and off age) to make the will at the time of making the will. In other words, the deceased must have had the knowledge and approved the contents of the will.

Intestate succession is where there is no will left by the deceased. It applies where the deceased has left ONE surviving spouse and a child or children. In this regard, the surviving spouse shall be entitled to:-

• The personal and household effects of the deceased and,
• The intestate property but cannot sell this property. This is because the spouse is only holding it on behalf of the children. If the spouse remarries, he/she loses her entitlement to the intestate property.

As an owner of a beneficial interest in the land property, you can be part of making decisions involving the property, including how it is used and developed, and get a share of any income that is distributed from the property.

A will is a mere intention of the maker. It can be amended by the same person during his/her life time.

• A person, may through his/her will appoint an executor. This is a person named in the will who has the legal responsibility to take care of a deceased person’s remaining financial obligations e.g. property disposal, paying bills, taxes etc.
• It’s a mere intention of the maker – can be amended but only by the maker during their lifetime.
• Can deal with property acquired after death of maker (ambulatory)

Any person can write a will at any time as long as they are of sound mind, and are 18 years old and above.

• The deceased can exercise control over property
• It can help avoid courts from determining who is entitled to property
• Enable appointing property representatives of choice
• Avoiding disputes over property
• Persons outside family can have property
• The deceased can decide on how he/she can be disposed off.

When the maker of a will lacks knowledge and approval of a will, the will is as if it was not made at all. This is because of

• Fraud / forgery
• Coercion
• Mistake / duress / undue influence

Oral Will

It is only valid if;

• Made before 2 or more competent witnesses;
• The maker dies within 3 months of making it;
• An oral will made by a member of the armed forces during a period of active service shall be valid if the maker of the will dies during the same period of active service even if he/she dies more than 3 months after making the will;
• If there is any conflict in evidence of witnesses as to what was said by the deceased in making an oral will, the oral will shall not be valid except if the contents can be proved by a competent independent witness.

Written Will

A written will must have the following characteristics:

• It must be signed by the maker.
• Incase its signed by somebody other than the maker, then this should be done in the presence of the maker and under his/her directions.
• It must me witnessed by two or more witnesses and these witnesses MUST NOT be beneficiaries in the will otherwise there shall be need of an additional two witnesses.
• If the maker of the will refers to another document in his will, the document shall be considered as part of the will as long as it is verified that it is the exact same document the maker was referring to in his/her will.
• An executor shall not be disqualified as a witness to prove execution of the will or to prove the validity or invalidity of the will.
• If the dependent or dependents feel that the deceased’s will does not provide adequately for their needs, they may make an application to the Court.
• The Court may order a specific share of the property be given to the dependent (s) or periodical payments or lump sum payment.

• The wife or wives, or former wife or wives, and the children of the deceased whether or not maintained by the deceased before his death.
• The deceased’s parent, step parents, grand-parents, grandchildren, step- children, children whom the deceased had taken into his family as his own,
• Brother and sisters, and half -brothers and half-sisters, who were being maintained by the deceased before his death.
• Where the deceased is a woman, her husband if he was being maintained by her before her death.

Section 40 of the Constitution of Kenya stipulates that every person has right to own land of any description in any part of Kenya. The National Land policy 1.5.1 (7), (c), (d) put more emphasis on gender equity and land rights.

We mean women should not only have access to land as the right but also enter upon and useland, exercise control over land as one’s ability to make decisions with regard to the land.

These include the ability to:

• Determine the size of land used for farming activities and whether the land will be used for food or cash crop production.
• Transfer land titles, whether by sale or inheritance (land ownership)

Matrimonial Property Act of (2013) the matrimonial property act provides that married women has the same rights as married man to acquire, administer, hold, control, use and dispose of property whether movable or immovable; enter into contract and sue and be sued in her own name.

It means any property that is owned or leased by one or both spouses and occupied or utilized by the spouses as their family home, and includes any other attached property.

The husband or wife may acquire beneficial interests that are equal to the amount of contribution made by the spouse.

Any liability incurred by a spouse before the marriage and relating to the property shall, after marriage, remain the liability of the spouse who incurred it. If the property becomes matrimonial then it shall be equally shared by the spouses and unless they otherwise agreed .The law states that parties to marriage shall equally share the liability incurred during the subsistence of the marriage for the benefit of the marriage or reasonable and justifiable expenses incurred for the benefit of marriage.

The spouse will not only share benefit but liabilities on the matrimonial property.

• Women have a right to acquire and own land whether individually or as a group.
• Daughters have the right to inherit their parents’ land and property.
• Women have a right to be elected and or appointed into land governance institutions.
• Married women have the right to joint ownership of land and property acquired during the marriage.
• Married women have the right to transact on land in consultation with their husbands and vice versa.
• Widows have the right to inherit their deceased husband’s land and property.

A ‘child” means an individual who has not attained the age of eighteen years in Kenya. Generally, children cannot own land or property in their own right as children. However, land and property can be held on trust for their benefit and use.

Orphans have the right to access and use their parents land and property whether or not it is held in trust by an appointed and responsible adult member of the immediate family. Upon reaching the age of 18, they have the right to be registered as the rightful owners of land and the properties previously held by their deceased parents.

The constitution of Kenya defines an ‘adult’ as an individual who has attained the age of eighteen years. For the purpose of determining rights accruing to the youth, there is need to appreciate that the constitution regards youths as adults and thus;

• Each youth has the right to ownership, access, and control of land and property.

Though the right to inherit from their parents is discretionary, in the event of inheritance by the siblings, both daughters and sons have equal rights.

The Ministry of Devolution and ASALs consists of two State Departments; namely Devolution and ASALs, both of which were part of the defunct Ministry of Devolution and Planning.

This is the degree to which a climate lacks effective and life-promoting moisture. It is measured by comparing long-term average water supply (precipitation) to long-term average water demand (evapotranspiration). Whenever the demand for water is higher than supply, then the climate is described as arid.

Exposing such data to a third party is a contravention of the Data Protection Act. However, it is okay to share the data if you have the recipient’s consent. An instance where one can share the data is if a person receives the message but has no smart phone, they can share the link to someone with a smart phone so that they can select their preferred delivery destination.

In this case, our system auto-selects a delivery destination based on:

The place one indicated during registration to be the CURRENT Physical Location;

If no current Physical Location was provided, then the system selects where the person indicated to be the PERMANENT Physical Location;

In case NO current and NO permanent locations were indicated, then the system auto-selects the Home Sub-County as indicated in the recipient’s 2^ndgeneration National ID card.

In all the above three cases, the identified location is mapped to the nearest National Registration Bureau (NRB) office or nearest Huduma Centre which is then chosen as the delivery destination.

During the initial card production and distribution of the Huduma Cards, some SMSs were sent for card collection at some National Registration Bureau (NRB) offices which due to technical challenges could not be used for our automated card issuance.

As such, cards destined for such delivery destinations were redirected to the nearest available technically functional National Registration Bureau (NRB) offices.

However, for the current and subsequent production, cards are only sent to functional NRB offices.

The issuing officer at the station will take note, escalate the matter and trace it within our automated system. You will thus be required to leave your contact details in order to be informed once the Huduma Card has been traced.

The issuing officer will inform the ICT officer concerned for further guidance and you will be informed accordingly when the situation is rectified. You will thus be required to leave your contact details.

After selecting your preferred delivery destination, the card will be generated and dispatched to the chosen destination. A subsequent SMS from HUDUMA NAMBA will be sent to the recipient once the card has been delivered.

There are 870 National Registration Bureau (NRB) offices and 52 Huduma Centres across the country which have been indicated as delivery destinations in the dropdown list found in our URL (https://www.hudumanamba.go.ke)

The printing and personalization of the cards is being done in batches, hence there will be variations in the delivery times. All adults who registered shall have received their cards by the end of 2021.

The service is absolutely free. The cost of the card has been catered for by the Government.
However, there will be charges for the replacement of lost or damaged cards.

The local National Government Administrative Officers (NGAOs) i.e. Regional Commissioner, County Commissioner, Deputy County Commissioner, Assistant County Commissioner, Chief and Assistant Chief may need to be informed of such cases so they can intervene and make arrangements with the issuance officers in order to provide mobile issuance services and have the cards delivered to the vulnerable recipients.

Currently the Card will be printed with the information provided earlier. However, the Government will later open registration as a continuous exercise and its then when people will be able to update their records.

No. One cannot pick the Huduma Card for someone else since the system is automated and requires the particular recipients to personally collect their cards from their respective delivery destinations.

Yes. All you need to add is Kenya’s international code (+254) followed by 080022111.

People are advised to confirm that their card details as indicated on the face of the card are correct when picking them at the delivery destination.
