The fraud case facing the Controller of Budget (CoB) Margret Nyakang'o stems from a civil case at the Mombasa Court, but risks ending her illustrious stint at the helm of the powerful constitution office.

In the civil case, businesswoman Claudia Mutungi Mueni sued Fountain Enterprise Program (FEP) Sacco Limited and its directors to recover Sh29 million and interest accrued since December 2, 2019.
