President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday picked an insider to replace Edward Ouko as the country’s second Auditor-General.
Mr Kenyatta has sent the name of Ms Gathungu to Parliament for vetting in what is set to end the country’s nine-month wait for Mr Ouko’s replacement.
“His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta has nominated Ms Nancy Janet Kabui Gathungu for the position of Auditor General,” State House said in a statement to newsrooms on Friday.
President Kenyatta then appointed a new team headed by Mutua Kilaka to search for the auditor-general, a process that has now been concluded with the nomination of Ms Gathungu.
