Kenya's Public Service Commission has been working to fill the position of Auditor General since August 27, 2019, when Edward Ouko completed his 8-year non-renewable tenure.
Published on May 18, 2020, the commission has now shortlisted 10 candidates from 64 applicants, including Leonard Lari, Edwin Kamar, and Elizabeth Nguring'a, who will undergo interviews on June 2-3, 2020.
The absence of an auditor general has led to delays in the release of financial results by some state-owned corporations, highlighting the importance of the position in ensuring transparency and accountability in government.
Despite the challenges, the Public Service Commission remains committed to finding a suitable candidate for the position, which is crucial for the effective functioning of the government.
