Picture; George NjungThe Treasury principal secretary was yesterday taken to task for relying on an illegal audit report to instigate investigations into the Anglo Leasing scandal. Kamau Thugge (right) stated he was not aware that a 2007 PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) audit report that he relied on to convince the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to start fresh investigations into the scandal had been declared illegal by the High Court. “I was only responding to requests by EACC that we provide them with information relating to Anglo Leasing. That is why I gave them a report in 2014 suggesting ways to recover the money based on the PwC audit. Thugge stated that Treasury did not seek legal interpretation to determine whether the PwC audit report could be used as evidence.
