Opposition MPs yesterday walked out of the debating chambers at the National Assembly to protest what they said were illegal amendments that President Uhuru Kenyatta had proposed to the Public Audit Bill 2015.
The MPs said the changes contained in the presidential memo were "illegal and unconstitutional". They said the office of the Auditor General was independent and there was no point making it subservient to the Public Service Commission so as to curtail its freedom to pick suitable staff.
