Ms. Gathungu has promised to clear the audit backlog left behind following the period between the end of her predecessor Edward Ouko’s term and her assumption of office.
The office of the Auditor General in Kenya fell vacant in August 2019 when Edward Ouko retired after an 8-year stint.
Ms Gathungu has promised that she will build on the legacy left by Edward Ouko using four pillars namely: Indipendence, credibility, relevance and accountability.
CJ Maraga advised Ms Gathungu to discharge her duties without fear or favour and promised her the full support of the Judiciary.
“Very often it is the case in leadership positions in this country that you will counter challenges. As it were, you will step on toes, some of them very thick, including even if it is that of the Chief Justice, but you are required to discharge your duty without fear or favour,” said Maraga.
“I want to assure you that as an institution, we will give you all the support you require. If there are areas where we will have to say that you have not done your work well we will say it.”
