The Auditor General hired 229 auditors and support staff in the year to June 2024, in a fresh effort to curb the runaway graft in counties and parastatals amid rising need for special audits.
Auditor General Nancy Gathungu says that the push for special audits by the National Assembly and Senate, which oversees the counties, has informed the need for additional staff, costing taxpayers an extra Sh720 million in the financial year under review.
