President Uhuru Kenyatta has nominated Nancy Gathungu for the position of Auditor General. In a statement by State House spokesperson Kanze Dena-Mararo, she said Gathungu was the first among the top three candidates presented to President Uhuru Kenyatta for nomination by the Recruitment Panel. Gathungu, currently the director of audit at the Office of the Auditor, was among 10 accountants shortlisted for the job. The Auditor General post has been vacant since Ouko left office in August last year. Ouko’s succession has delayed a great deal after PSC’s first bid to fill the post was nullified by the High Court.
