Auditor General Nancy Gathungu has called on Parliament and all 47 county assemblies to scrutinise audit reports from her office before the 2027 General Election to ensure public officials are held accountable for the management of public funds.
Gathungu said the audit report for the 2025/2026 financial year is expected to be ready before the end of December 2026, giving legislators an opportunity to examine how public resources have been utilised ahead of the next election.
She urged the National Assembly, Senate and county assemblies to prioritise the reports and take action against public officials found responsible for financial irregularities.
The Auditor General said timely scrutiny of public expenditure helps prevent or minimise the loss and misuse of public funds.
Her appeal comes as the country prepares for the 2027 General Election, with questions surrounding accountability and the management of public resources expected to remain central to public debate.
