Embattled Auditor General Edward Ouko has moved to block a fresh bid to remove him from office. Mr Emmanuel Mwagonah, had filed a petition in the National Assembly which is now before Departmental committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, accusing the auditor of abuse of office.
But Mr Ouko has written to the National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, protesting at the hurried manner the petition was committed before the Committee, even before it was scrutinised to establish if it merited substantive inquiry. Muturi directed that the petition be considered within 10 days.
