Team formed to audit social economic impact of Kenya’s constitution

NAIROBI, KENYA: The Office of the Auditor General has appointed an eleven-member working group to conduct the social economic audit of the constitution passed in 2010. The formation of the committee was approved by the National Assembly in February this year to provide the National Assembly with the necessary information and analysis to aid the execution of Parliament’s oversight mandate.

The working group that will be chaired by the Auditor General Edward Ouko will among others seek to assess the impact of the implementation of the constitution to the nation’s economy and in particular its public finances. The committee is also expected to make a rapid assessment of the impact of the implementation of the constitution on public institutions and evaluate the social impact resulting from the implementation of the constitution.
