Act on Auditor General’s financial reports

Despite what many interpreted as executive intimidation of Auditor General Edward Ouko at a State function at State House Nairobi last year and the follow-up threat of censorship by the Leader of Majority in parliament Aden Duale early this year, the Auditor General continues to write audit reports on financial misappropriations that are alarming.

Seemingly, public funds are being misused by top Government officials who do not subscribe to the principle of accountability. Almost every other report that has been tabled by the Auditor General raises questions on deals that appear not to be above board, but this has not encouraged accountability as subsequent reports show.
