The National Assembly faces scrutiny for violating legal timelines in considering the Auditor-General's reports, despite a High Court judgment mandating compliance with the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. This ruling, issued on October 1, 2024, declared constitutional audit timelines as peremptory and mandatory.

• A High Court judgment quashed an audit report and a Select Committee Report from the Nairobi City County Assembly for the year ended June 30, 2020, due to timeline violations.
• City lawyer David Ochami emphasizes that the National Assembly "has no choice" but to comply, as its failure to obey the constitution questions the legal force of its reports.
• The Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu delayed the audit of the Nairobi City County Alcoholic Drinks Control and Licensing Board for the 2019/2020 financial year by over nine months.
• Constitutional provisions require the Auditor-General to audit and report within six months of the financial year end, and Parliament or county assemblies to debate and act on reports within three months of receipt.
